2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 10 - Commercial Laws|§4-401. When bank may charge customer's account

RS 4-401 - When bank may charge customer's account (a) A bank may charge against the account of a customer an item that is properly payable from that account even though the charge creates an overdraft. An item is properly payable if it is authorized by the customer and is in accordance with any agreement between the customer and bank. (b) (Reserved) (c) A bank may charge against the account of a customer a check that is otherwise properly payable from the account, even though payment was made before the date of the check, unless the customer has given notice to the bank of the postdating describing the check with reasonable certainty. The notice is effective for the period stated in R.S. 10:4-403(b) for stop-payment orders, and must be received at such time and in such manner as to afford the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before the bank takes any action with respect to the check described in R.S. 10:4-303. If a bank charges against the account of a customer a check before the date stated in the notice of postdating, the bank is liable for damages proximately caused by its act. Such liability may include damages for dishonor of subsequent items under R.S. 10:4-402. (d) A bank that in good faith makes payment to a holder may charge the indicated account of its customer according to: (1) the original terms of the altered item; or (2) the terms of the completed item, even though the bank knows the item has been completed unless the bank has notice that the completion was improper.

RS 4-402 - Bank's liability to customer for wrongful dishonor; time of determining insufficiency of account (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, a payor bank wrongfully dishonors an item if it dishonors an item that is properly payable, but a bank may dishonor an item that would create an overdraft unless it has agreed to pay the overdraft. (b) A payor bank is liable to its customer for damages proximately caused by the wrongful dishonor of an item. (c) A payor bank's determination of the customer's account balance on which a decision to dishonor for insufficiency of available funds is based may be made at any time between the time the item is received by the payor bank and the time that the payor bank returns the item or gives notice in lieu of return, and no more than one determination need be made. If, at the election of the payor bank, a subsequent balance determination is made for the purpose of reevaluating the bank's decision to dishonor the item, the account balance at that time is determinative of whether a dishonor for insufficiency of available funds is wrongful.

RS 4-403 - Customer's right to stop payment; burden of proof of loss (a) A customer or any person authorized to draw on the account if there is more than one person may stop payment of any item drawn on the customer's account or close the account by an order to the bank describing the item or account with reasonable certainty received at a time and in a manner that affords the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before any action by the bank with respect to the item described in R.S. 10:4-303. If the signature of more than one person is required to draw on an account, any of these persons may stop payment or close the account. (b) A stop-payment order is effective for six months, but it lapses after 14 calendar days if the original order was oral and was not confirmed in writing within that period. A stop-payment order may be renewed for additional six-month periods by a writing given to the bank within a period during which the stop-payment order is effective. (c) The burden of establishing the fact and amount of loss resulting from the payment of an item contrary to a stop-payment order or order to close an account is on the customer. The loss from payment of an item contrary to a stop-payment order may include damages for dishonor of subsequent items under R.S. 10:4-402. Acts 1992, No. 1133, §4, eff.

RS 4-405 - Death or interdiction of customer (a) A payor or collecting bank's authority to accept, pay, or collect an item or to account for proceeds of its collection, if otherwise effective, is not rendered ineffective by interdiction of a customer of either bank existing at the time the item is issued or its collection is undertaken if the bank has not received written notice, addressed to the bank, of an adjudication of interdiction. Neither death nor interdiction of a customer revokes such authority to accept, pay, collect, or account until receipt of a notice by the bank, addressed to the bank in writing, of the fact of death or of an adjudication of interdiction and the bank has reasonable opportunity to act on it. (b) Even following the receipt of such notice, a bank may for ten days after the date of death pay or certify checks drawn on or before that date unless ordered to stop payment by a person claiming an interest in the account.

RS 4A-201 - Security procedure  "Security procedure" means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for the purpose of (i) verifying that a payment order or communication amending or cancelling a payment order is that of the customer, or (ii) detecting error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or communication.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 10 - Commercial Laws|§4A-202. Authorized and verified payment orders

RS 4A-202 - Authorized and verified payment orders  (a) A payment order received by the receiving bank is the authorized order of the person identified as sender if that person authorized the order or is otherwise bound by it under the law of agency.  (b) If a bank and its customer have agreed that the authenticity of payment orders issued to the bank in the name of the customer as sender will be verified pursuant to a security procedure, a payment order received by the receiving bank is effective as the order of the customer, whether or not authorized, if (i) the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders, and (ii) the bank proves that it accepted the payment order in good faith and in compliance with the security procedure and any written agreement or instruction of the customer restricting acceptance of payment orders issued in the name of the customer. The bank is not required to follow an instruction that violates a written agreement with the customer or notice of which is not received at a time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before the payment order is accepted.  (c) Commercial reasonableness of a security procedure is a question of law to be determined by considering the wishes of the customer expressed to the bank, the circumstances of the customer known to the bank, including the size, type, and frequency of payment orders normally issued by the customer to the bank, alternative security procedures offered to the customer, and security procedures in general use by customers and receiving bank similarly situated. A security procedure is deemed to be commercially reasonable if (i) the security procedure was chosen by the customer after the bank offered, and the customer refused, a security procedure that was commercially reasonable for that customer, and (ii) the customer expressly agreed in writing to be bound by any payment order, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the bank in compliance with the security procedure chosen by the customer.  (d) The term "sender" in this Chapter includes the customer in whose name a payment order is issued if the order is the authorized order of the customer under Subsection (a), or it is effective as the order of the customer under Subsection (b).  (e) This Section applies to amendments and cancellations of payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment orders.  (f) Except as provided in this Section and in R.S. 10:4A-203(a)(1), rights and obligations arising under this Section or R.S. 10:4A-203 may not be varied by agreement.
