2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 1. Subject Matter and Definitions.|Sec. 45.14.106. Time payment order is received.

(a) The time of receipt of a payment order or communication canceling or amending a payment order is determined by the rules applicable to receipt of a notice stated in AS 45.01.212. A receiving bank may fix a cut-off time or times on a funds-transfer business day for the receipt and processing of payment orders and communications cancelling or amending payment orders.

If a payment order or communication cancelling or amending a payment order is received after the close of a funds-transfer business day or after the appropriate cut-off time on a funds-transfer business day, the receiving bank may treat the payment order or communication as received at the opening of the next funds-transfer business day. (b) If this chapter refers to an execution date or payment date or states a day on which a receiving bank is required to take action, and the date or day does not fall on a funds-transfer business day, the next day that is a funds-transfer business day is treated as the date or day stated, unless the contrary is stated in this chapter.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.201. Security procedure.

(a) In this chapter, “security procedure” means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for the purpose of (1) verifying that a payment order or communication amending or canceling a payment order is that of the customer; or (2) detecting error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or communication.

AK Stat § 45.14.202 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.202. 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 under a security procedure, a payment order received by the receiving bank is effective as the order of the customer, whether or not authorized, if (1) the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders; and (2) 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 banks similarly situated. A security procedure is considered to be commercially reasonable if (1) 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 (2) the customer expressly agreed in writing to be bound by a 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) This section applies to amendments and cancellations of payment orders to the same extent that it applies to payment orders. (e) Except as provided in this section and in AS 45.14.203(a)(1), rights and obligations arising under this section or AS 45.14.203 may not be varied by agreement. (f) In this chapter, “sender” includes the customer in whose name a payment order is issued if the order is the authorized order of the customer under (a) of this section, or it is effective as the order of the customer under (b) of this section.
AK Stat § 45.14.203 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.203. Unenforceability of certain verified payment orders.

(a) If an accepted payment order is not, under AS 45.14.202(a), an authorized order of a customer identified as sender, but is effective as an order of the customer under AS 45.14.202(b), the following rules apply: (1) by express written agreement, the receiving bank may limit the extent to which it is entitled to enforce or retain payment of the payment order; (2) the receiving bank is not entitled to enforce or retain payment of the payment order if the customer proves that the order was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a person (A) entrusted at any time with duties to act for the customer with respect to payment orders or the security procedure; or (B) who obtained access to transmitting facilities of the customer or who obtained, from a source controlled by the customer and without authority of the receiving bank, information facilitating breach of the security procedure, regardless of how the information was obtained or whether the customer was at fault; in this subparagraph, “information” includes any access device, computer software, or the like. (b) This section applies to amendments of payment orders to the same extent that it applies to payment orders.
AK Stat § 45.14.204 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.204. Refund of payment and duty of customer to report with respect to unauthorized payment order.

(a) If a receiving bank accepts a payment order issued in the name of its customer as sender and if the payment order is not authorized and not effective as the order of the customer under AS 45.14.202, or not enforceable in whole or in part against the customer under AS 45.14.203, the bank shall refund payment of the payment order received from the customer to the extent that the bank is not entitled to enforce payment and shall pay interest on the refundable amount calculated from the date the bank received payment to the date of the refund. However, the customer is not entitled to interest from the bank on the amount to be refunded if the customer fails to exercise ordinary care to determine that the order was not authorized by the customer and to notify the bank of the relevant facts within a reasonable time not exceeding 90 days after the date the customer received notification from the bank that the order was accepted or that the customer's account was debited with respect to the order. The bank is not entitled to recovery from the customer on account of a failure by the customer to give notification as stated in this section. (b) Reasonable time under (a) of this section may be fixed by agreement as stated in AS 45.01.302(b), but the obligation of a receiving bank to refund payment as stated in (a) of this section may not otherwise be varied by agreement.
AK Stat § 45.14.205 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.205. Erroneous payment orders.

(a) If an accepted payment order was transmitted under a security procedure for the detection of error and the payment order was an erroneous payment order, the following rules apply: (1) if the sender proves that the sender or a person acting on behalf of the sender under AS 45.14.206 complied with the security procedure and that the error would have been detected if the receiving bank had also complied, the sender is not obliged to pay the order to the extent stated in (2) and (3) of this subsection; (2) if the funds transfer is completed on the basis of an erroneous payment order described in (d)(1) or (3) of this section, the sender is not obliged to pay the order and the receiving bank is entitled to recover from the beneficiary any amount paid to the beneficiary to the extent allowed by the law governing mistake and restitution; (3) if the funds transfer is completed on the basis of an erroneous payment order described in (d)(2) of this section, the sender is not obliged to pay the order to the extent the amount received by the beneficiary is greater than the amount intended by the sender; in that case, the receiving bank is entitled to recover from the beneficiary the excess amount received to the extent allowed by the law governing mistake and restitution. (b) If the sender of an erroneous payment order is not obliged to pay all or part of the order, and if the sender receives notification from the receiving bank that the order was accepted by the bank or that the sender's account was debited with respect to the order, the sender has a duty to exercise ordinary care, on the basis of information available to the sender, to discover the error with respect to the order and to advise the bank of the relevant facts within a reasonable time, not exceeding 90 days, after the bank's notification was received by the sender. If the bank proves that the sender failed to perform that duty, the sender is liable to the bank for the loss the bank proves it incurred as a result of the failure, but the liability of the sender may not exceed the amount of the sender's order. (c) This section applies to amendments to payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment orders. (d) In this section, “erroneous payment order” means a payment order that (1) erroneously instructed payment to a beneficiary not intended by the sender; (2) erroneously instructed payment in an amount greater than the amount intended by the sender; or (3) was an erroneously transmitted duplicate of a payment order previously sent by the sender.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.206. Transmission of payment order through funds-transfer or other communication system.

(a) If a payment order addressed to a receiving bank is transmitted to a funds-transfer system or other third-party communication system for transmittal to the bank, the system is considered to be an agent of the sender for the purpose of transmitting the payment order to the bank. If there is a discrepancy between the terms of the payment order transmitted to the system and the terms of the payment order transmitted by the system to the bank, the terms of the payment order of the sender are those transmitted by the system. This section does not apply to a funds-transfer system of the federal reserve banks. (b) This section applies to cancellations and amendments of payment orders to the same extent that it applies to payment orders.
AK Stat § 45.14.208 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.208. Misdescription of intermediary bank or beneficiary's bank.

(a) The following rules in this subsection apply 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) The following rules in this subsection apply 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 does not need to 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 (b)(1) of this section, 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 does not need to 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 AS 45.14.302(a)(1).
AK Stat § 45.14.209 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.209. Acceptance of payment order.

(a) Subject to (d) of this section, a receiving bank other than the beneficiary's bank accepts a payment order when it executes the order. (b) Subject to (c) and (d) of this section, a beneficiary's bank accepts a payment order at the earliest of the following times: (1) when the bank (A) pays the beneficiary as stated in AS 45.14.405(a) or (b); or (B) notifies the beneficiary of receipt of the order or that the account of the beneficiary has been credited with respect to the order unless the notice indicates that the bank is rejecting the order or that funds with respect to the order may not be withdrawn or used until receipt of payment from the sender of the order; (2) when the bank receives payment of the entire amount of the sender's order under AS 45.14.403(a)(1) or (2); or (3) the opening of the next funds-transfer business day of the bank following the payment date of the order if, at the opening of the next funds-transfer business day, the amount of the sender's order is fully covered by a withdrawable credit balance in an authorized account of the sender, or the bank has otherwise received full payment from the sender, unless the order was rejected before the opening of the next funds-transfer business day, is rejected within one hour after the opening of the next funds-transfer business day, or, if later, is rejected one hour after the opening of the next business day of the sender following the payment date; if notice of rejection is received by the sender after the payment date and the authorized account of the sender does not bear interest, the bank is obliged to pay interest to the sender on the amount of the order for the number of days elapsing after the payment date to the day the sender receives notice or learns that the order was not accepted, counting that day as an elapsed day; if the withdrawable credit balance during that period falls below the amount of the order, the amount of interest payable is reduced accordingly. (c) Acceptance of a payment order may not occur before the order is received by the receiving bank. Acceptance does not occur under (b)(2) or (3) of this section if the beneficiary of the payment order does not have an account with the receiving bank, the account has been closed, or the receiving bank is not permitted by law to receive credits for the beneficiary's account. (d) A payment order issued to the originator's bank cannot be accepted until the payment date if the bank is the beneficiary's bank, or the execution date if the bank is not the beneficiary's bank. If the originator's bank executes the originator's payment order before the execution date or pays the beneficiary of the originator's payment order before the payment date and the payment order is subsequently canceled under AS 45.14.211(b), the bank may recover from the beneficiary any payment received to the extent allowed by the law governing mistake and restitution.
AK Stat § 45.14.210 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 14. Funds Transfers|Article 2. Issue and Acceptance of Payment Order.|Sec. 45.14.210. Rejection of payment order.

(a) A payment order is rejected by the receiving bank by a notice of rejection transmitted to the sender orally, electronically, or in writing. A notice of rejection does not need to use particular words and is sufficient if it indicates that the receiving bank is rejecting the order or will not execute or pay the order. Rejection is effective when the notice is given if transmission is by a means that is reasonable in the circumstances. If notice of rejection is given by a means that is not reasonable, rejection is effective when the notice is received. If an agreement of the sender and receiving bank establishes the means to be used to reject a payment order, means (1) complying with the agreement are reasonable; and (2) not complying with the agreement are not reasonable unless significant delay in receipt of the notice did not result from the use of the noncomplying means. (b) This subsection applies if a receiving bank other than the beneficiary's bank fails to execute a payment order despite the existence on the execution date of a withdrawable credit balance in an authorized account of the sender sufficient to cover the order. If the sender does not receive notice of rejection of the order on the execution date and the authorized account of the sender does not bear interest, the bank is obliged to pay interest to the sender on the amount of the order for the number of days elapsing after the execution date to the earlier of the day the order is canceled under AS 45.14.211(e) or the day the sender receives notice or learns that the order was not executed, counting the final day of the period as an elapsed day. If the withdrawable credit balance during that period falls below the amount of the order, the amount of interest is reduced accordingly. (c) If a receiving bank suspends payments, all unaccepted payment orders issued to it are considered rejected at the time the bank suspends payments. (d) Acceptance of a payment order precludes a later rejection of the order. Rejection of a payment order precludes a later acceptance of the order.
