Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(810 ILCS 5/4A-208) (from Ch. 26, par. 4A-208) (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-1036) Sec. 4A-208. Misdescription of intermediary bank or beneficiary's bank. (a) This subsection applies to a payment order identifying an
intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank only by an identifying number. (1) The receiving bank may rely on the number as the |
| proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank and need not determine whether the number identifies a bank.
|
|
(2) The sender is obliged to compensate the receiving
|
| bank for any loss and expenses incurred by the receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting to execute the order.
|
|
(b) This subsection applies to a payment order identifying an
intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank both by name and an identifying
number if the name and number identify different persons.
(1) If the sender is a bank, the receiving bank may
|
| rely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving bank, when it executes the sender's order, does not know that the name and number identify different persons. The receiving bank need not determine whether the name and number refer to the same person or whether the number refers to a bank. The sender is obliged to compensate the receiving bank for any loss and expenses incurred by the receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting to execute the order.
|
|
(2) If the sender is not a bank and the receiving
|
| bank proves that the sender, before the payment order was accepted, had notice that the receiving bank might rely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank even if it identifies a person different from the bank identified by name, the rights and obligations of the sender and the receiving bank are governed by subsection (b)(1), as though the sender were a bank. Proof of notice may be made by any admissible evidence. The receiving bank satisfies the burden of proof if it proves that the sender, before the payment order was accepted, signed a writing stating the information to which the notice relates.
|
|
(3) Regardless of whether the sender is a bank, the
|
| receiving bank may rely on the name as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving bank, at the time it executes the sender's order, does not know that the name and number identify different persons. The receiving bank need not determine whether the name and number refer to the same person.
|
|
(4) If the receiving bank knows that the name and
|
| number identify different persons, reliance on either the name or the number in executing the sender's payment order is a breach of the obligation stated in Section 4A-302(a)(1).
