2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A501 - Variation by agreement and effect of funds-transfer system rule

47-4A501.  Variation by agreement and effect of funds-transfer system rule A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter,  the rights and obligations of a party to a funds transfer may be varied by agreement of the affected party. B. " Funds-transfer system rule"  means a rule of an association of banks governing transmission of payment orders by means of a funds-transfer system of the association or rights and obligations with respect to those orders or to the extent the rule governs rights and obligations between banks that are parties to a funds transfer in which a federal reserve bank,  acting as an intermediary bank,  sends a payment order to the beneficiary's bank. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter,  a funds-transfer system rule governing rights and obligations between participating banks using the system may be effective even if the rule conflicts with this chapter and indirectly affects another party to the funds transfer who does not consent to the rule. A funds-transfer system rule may also govern rights and obligations of parties other than participating banks using the system to the extent stated in section 47-4A404,  subsection C,  section 47-4A405,  subsection D and section 47-4A507,  subsection C.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A502 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A502 - Creditor process served on receiving bank; setoff by beneficiary's bank

47-4A502.  Creditor process served on receiving bank;  setoff by beneficiary's bank A. As used in this section,  " creditor process"  means levy,  attachment,  garnishment,  notice of lien,  sequestration or similar process issued by or on behalf of a creditor or other claimant with respect to an account. B. This subsection applies to creditor process with respect to an authorized account of the sender of a payment order if the creditor process is served on the receiving bank. For the purpose of determining rights with respect to the creditor process,  if the receiving bank accepts the payment order the balance in the authorized account is deemed to be reduced by the amount of the payment order to the extent the bank did not otherwise receive payment of the order,  unless the creditor process is served at a time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before the bank accepts the payment order. C. If a beneficiary's bank has received a payment order for payment to the beneficiary's account in the bank,  the following rules apply: 1. The bank may credit the beneficiary's account. The amount credited may be set off against an obligation owed by the beneficiary to the bank or may be applied to satisfy creditor process served on the bank with respect to the account. 2. The bank may credit the beneficiary's account and allow withdrawal of the amount credited unless creditor process with respect to the account is served at a time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act to prevent withdrawal. 3. If creditor process with respect to the beneficiary's account has been served and the bank has had a reasonable opportunity to act on it,  the bank may not reject the payment order except for a reason unrelated to the service of process. D. Creditor process with respect to a payment by the originator to the beneficiary pursuant to a funds transfer may be served only on the beneficiary's bank with respect to the debt owed by that bank to the beneficiary. Any other bank served with the creditor process is not obliged to act with respect to the process.

47-4A503.  Injunction or restraining order with respect to funds transfer For proper cause and in compliance with applicable law,  a court may restrain a person from issuing a payment order to initiate a funds transfer,  an originator's bank from executing the payment order of the originator or the beneficiary's bank from releasing funds to the beneficiary or the beneficiary from withdrawing the funds.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A505 - Preclusion of objection to debit of customer's account

47-4A505.

AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A506 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A506 - Rate of interest

47-4A506.  Rate of interest A. If,  under this chapter,  a receiving bank is obliged to pay interest with respect to a payment order issued to the bank,  the amount payable may be determined: 1. By agreement of the sender and receiving bank;  or 2. By a funds-transfer system rule if the payment order is transmitted through a funds-transfer system. B. If the amount of interest is not determined by an agreement or rule as stated in subsection A,  the amount is calculated by multiplying the applicable federal funds rate by the amount on which interest is payable,  and then multiplying the product by the number of days for which interest is payable. The applicable federal funds rate is the average of the federal funds rates published by the federal reserve bank of New York for each of the days for which interest is payable divided by three hundred sixty. The federal funds rate for any day on which a published rate is not available is the same as the published rate for the next preceding day for which there is a published rate. If a receiving bank that accepted a payment order is required to refund payment to the sender of the order because the funds transfer was not completed,  but the failure to complete was not due to any fault by the bank,  the interest payable is reduced by a percentage equal to the reserve requirement on deposits of the receiving bank.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A507 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A507 - Choice of law

47-4A507.  Choice of law A. The following rules apply unless the affected parties otherwise agree or subsection C applies: 1. The rights and obligations between the sender of a payment order and the receiving bank are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the receiving bank is located. 2. The rights and obligations between the beneficiary's bank and the beneficiary are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the beneficiary's bank is located. 3. The issue of when payment is made pursuant to a funds transfer by the originator to the beneficiary is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the beneficiary's bank is located. B. If the parties described in each paragraph of subsection A have made an agreement selecting the law of a particular jurisdiction to govern rights and obligations between each other,  the law of that jurisdiction governs those rights and obligations,  whether or not the payment order or the funds transfer bears a reasonable relation to that jurisdiction. C. A funds-transfer system rule may select the law of a particular jurisdiction to govern rights and obligations between participating banks with respect to payment orders transmitted or processed through the system or the rights and obligations of some or all parties to a funds transfer any part of which is carried out by means of the system. A choice of law made to govern rights and obligations between participating banks with respect to payment orders transmitted or processed through the system is binding on participating banks. A choice of law made to govern the rights and obligations of some or all parties to a funds transfer any part of which is carried out by means of the system is binding on the originator,  other sender,  or a receiving bank having notice that the funds-transfer system might be used in the funds transfer and of the choice of law by the system when the originator,  other sender or receiving bank issued or accepted a payment order. The beneficiary of a funds transfer is bound by the choice of law if,  when the funds transfer is initiated,  the beneficiary has notice that the funds-transfer system might be used in the funds transfer and of the choice of law by the system. The law of a jurisdiction selected pursuant to this subsection may govern,  whether or not that law bears a reasonable relation to the matter in issue. D. In the event of inconsistency between an agreement under subsection B and a choice-of-law rule under subsection C,  the agreement under subsection B prevails. E. If a funds transfer is made by use of more than one funds-transfer system and there is inconsistency between choice-of-law rules of the systems,  the matter in issue is governed by the law of the selected jurisdiction that has the most significant relationship to the matter in issue.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5103 - Scope

47-5103.  Scope A. This chapter applies to letters of credit and to certain rights and obligations arising out of transactions involving letters of credit. B. The statement of a rule in this chapter does not by itself require,  imply or negate application of the same or a different rule to a situation not provided for,  or to a person not specified,  in this chapter. C. With the exception of this subsection,  subsections A and D of this section,  section 47-5102,  subsection A,  paragraphs 9 and 10,  section 47-5106,  subsection D and section 47-5114,  subsection D,  and except to the extent prohibited in section 47-1302 and section 47-5117,  subsection D,  the effect of this article may be varied by agreement or by a provision stated or incorporated by reference in an undertaking. A term in an agreement or undertaking generally excusing liability or generally limiting remedies for failure to perform obligations is not sufficient to vary obligations prescribed by this chapter. D. Rights and obligations of an issuer to a beneficiary or a nominated person under a letter of credit are independent of the existence,  performance or nonperformance of a contract or arrangement out of which the letter of credit arises or which underlies it,  including contracts or arrangements between the issuer and the applicant and between the applicant and the beneficiary.

47-5106.  Issuance;  amendment;  cancellation;  duration A. A letter of credit is issued and becomes enforceable according to its terms against the issuer when the issuer sends or otherwise transmits it to the person requested to advise or to the beneficiary. A letter of credit is revocable only if it so provides. B. After a letter of credit is issued,  rights and obligations of a beneficiary,  applicant,  confirmer and issuer are not affected by an amendment or cancellation to which that person has not consented except to the extent the letter of credit provides that it is revocable or that the issuer may amend or cancel the letter of credit without that consent. C.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5107 - Confirmer; nominated person

47-5107.  Confirmer;  nominated person A. A confirmer is directly obligated on a letter of credit and has the rights and obligations of an issuer to the extent of its confirmation. The confirmer also has rights against and obligations to the issuer as if the issuer were an applicant and the confirmer had issued the letter of credit at the request and for the account of the issuer. B. A nominated person who is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or otherwise give value for a presentation. C. A person requested to advise may decline to act as an adviser. An adviser that is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or give value for a presentation. An adviser undertakes to the issuer and to the beneficiary to accurately advise the terms of the letter of credit,  confirmation,  amendment or advice received by that person and undertakes to the beneficiary to check the apparent authenticity of the request to advise. Even if the advice is inaccurate,  the letter of credit,  confirmation or amendment is enforceable as issued. D. A person who notifies a transferee beneficiary of the terms of a letter of credit,  confirmation,  amendment or advice has the rights and obligations of an adviser under subsection C. The terms in the notice to the transferee beneficiary may differ from the terms in any notice to the transferor beneficiary to the extent permitted by the letter of credit,  confirmation,  amendment or advice received by the person who so notifies.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-5109 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5109 - Fraud and forgery

47-5109.  Fraud and forgery A. If a presentation is made that appears on its face strictly to comply with the terms and conditions of the letter of credit,  but a required document is forged or materially fraudulent,  or honor of the presentation would facilitate a material fraud by the beneficiary on the issuer or applicant: 1. The issuer shall honor the presentation,  if honor is demanded by a nominated person who has given value in good faith and without notice of forgery or material fraud,  a confirmer who has honored its confirmation in good faith,  a holder in due course of a draft drawn under the letter of credit that was taken after acceptance by the issuer or nominated person,  or an assignee of the issuer's or nominated person's deferred obligation that was taken for value and without notice of forgery or material fraud after the obligation was incurred by the issuer or nominated person;  and 2. The issuer,  acting in good faith,  may honor or dishonor the presentation in any other case. B. If an applicant claims that a required document is forged or materially fraudulent or that honor of the presentation would facilitate a material fraud by the beneficiary on the issuer or applicant,  a court of competent jurisdiction may temporarily or permanently enjoin the issuer from honoring a presentation or grant similar relief against the issuer or other persons only if the court finds that: 1. The relief is not prohibited under the law applicable to an accepted draft or deferred obligation incurred by the issuer;  2. A beneficiary,  issuer or nominated person who may be adversely affected is adequately protected against loss that it may suffer because the relief is granted;  3. All of the conditions to entitle a person to the relief under the law of this state have been met;  and 4. On the basis of the information submitted to the court,  the applicant is more likely than not to succeed under its claim of forgery or material fraud and the person demanding honor does not qualify for protection under subsection A,  paragraph 1.

AZ Rev Stat § 47-5111 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5111 - Remedies

47-5111.  Remedies A. If an issuer wrongfully dishonors or repudiates its obligation to pay money under a letter of credit before presentation,  the beneficiary,  successor or nominated person presenting on its own behalf may recover from the issuer the amount that is the subject of the dishonor or repudiation. If the issuer's obligation under the letter of credit is not for the payment of money,  the claimant may obtain specific performance or,  at the claimant's election,  may recover an amount equal to the value of performance from the issuer. In either case,  the claimant may also recover incidental but not consequential damages. The claimant is not obligated to take action to avoid damages that might be due from the issuer under this subsection. If,  although not obligated to do so,  the claimant avoids damages,  the claimant's recovery from the issuer must be reduced by the amount of damages avoided. The issuer has the burden of proving the amount of damages avoided. In the case of repudiation the claimant need not present any document. B. If an issuer wrongfully dishonors a draft or demand presented under a letter of credit or honors a draft or demand in breach of its obligation to the applicant,  the applicant may recover damages resulting from the breach,  including incidental but not consequential damages,  minus any amount saved as a result of the breach. C. If an adviser or nominated person other than a confirmer breaches an obligation under this chapter or an issuer breaches an obligation not covered in subsection A or B,  a person to whom the obligation is owed may recover damages resulting from the breach,  including incidental but not consequential damages,  minus any amount saved as a result of the breach. To the extent of the confirmation,  a confirmer has the liability of an issuer specified in this subsection and subsections A and B. D. An issuer,  nominated person or adviser who is found liable under subsection A,  B or C shall pay interest on the amount owed thereunder from the date of wrongful dishonor or other appropriate date. E. Reasonable attorney fees and other expenses of litigation must be awarded to the prevailing party in an action in which a remedy is sought under this chapter. F. Damages that would otherwise be payable by a party for breach of an obligation under this chapter may be liquidated by agreement or undertaking,  but only in an amount or by a formula that is reasonable in light of the harm anticipated.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-5112 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5112 - Transfer of letter of credit

47-5112.  Transfer of letter of credit A. Except as otherwise provided in section 47-5113,  unless a letter of credit provides that it is transferable,  the right of a beneficiary to draw or otherwise demand performance under a letter of credit may not be transferred. B. Even if a letter of credit provides that it is transferable,  the issuer may refuse to recognize or carry out a transfer if: 1. The transfer would violate applicable law;  or 2. The transferor or transferee has failed to comply with any requirement stated in the letter of credit or any other requirement relating to transfer imposed by the issuer that is within the standard practice referred to in section 47-5108,  subsection E or that is otherwise reasonable under the circumstances.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-5113 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-5113 - Transfer by operation of law

47-5113.  Transfer by operation of law A. A successor of a beneficiary may consent to amendments,  sign and present documents and receive payment or other items of value in the name of the beneficiary without disclosing its status as a successor. B. A successor of a beneficiary may consent to amendments,  sign and present documents and receive payment or other items of value in its own name as the disclosed successor of the beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided in subsection E of this section,  an issuer shall recognize a disclosed successor of a beneficiary as beneficiary in full substitution for its predecessor upon compliance with the requirements for recognition by the issuer of a transfer of drawing rights by operation of law under the standard practice referred to in section 47-5108,  subsection E or,  in the absence of such a practice,  compliance with other reasonable procedures sufficient to protect the issuer. C. An issuer is not obliged to determine whether a purported successor is a successor of a beneficiary or whether the signature of a purported successor is genuine or authorized. D. Honor of a purported successor's apparently complying presentation under subsection A or B of this section has the consequences specified in section 47-5108,  subsection I even if the purported successor is not the successor of a beneficiary. Documents signed in the name of the beneficiary or of a disclosed successor by a person who is neither the beneficiary nor the successor of the beneficiary are forged documents for the purposes of section 47-5109. E. An issuer whose rights of reimbursement are not covered by subsection D of this section or substantially similar law and any confirmer or nominated person may decline to recognize a presentation under subsection B of this section. F. A beneficiary whose name is changed after the issuance of a letter of credit has the same rights and obligations as a successor of a beneficiary under this section.
