Section 4--401. When Bank May Charge Customer's Account  


Latest version.
  • (1) As against its customer, a bank may charge against his account any
      item  which  is otherwise properly payable from that account even though
      the charge creates an overdraft.
        (2) A bank which in good faith makes payment to a  holder  may  charge
      the indicated account of its customer according to
             (a) the original tenor of his altered item; or
             (b) the  tenor  of his completed item, even though the bank knows
                 the item has been completed unless the bank has  notice  that
                 the completion was improper.
