2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A106 - Time payment order is received

47-4A106.  Time payment order is received A. The time of receipt of a payment order or communication cancelling or amending a payment order is determined by the rules applicable to receipt of a notice stated in section 47-1202. 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. Different cut-off times may apply to payment orders,  cancellations or amendments,  or to different categories of payment orders,  cancellations or amendments. A cut-off time may apply to senders generally or different cut-off times may apply to different senders or categories of 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.

AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A201 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A201 - Security procedure

47-4A201.  Security procedure " Security procedure"  means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for the purpose of verifying that a payment order or communication amending or cancelling a payment order is that of the customer or detecting error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or communication. A security procedure may require the use of algorithms or other codes,  identifying words or numbers,  encryption,  callback procedures or similar security devices. Comparison of a signature on a payment order or communication with an authorized specimen signature of the customer is not by itself a security procedure.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A202 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A202 - Authorized and verified payment orders

47-4A202.  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 the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders and 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 deemed 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 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 of this section,  or it is effective as the order of the customer under subsection B of this section. 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 section 47-4A203,  subsection A,  paragraph 1,  rights and obligations arising under this section or section 47-4A203 may not be varied by agreement.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A203 - Unenforceability of certain verified payment orders

47-4A203.  Unenforceability of certain verified payment orders A. If an accepted payment order is not,  under section 47-4A202,  subsection A,  an authorized order of a customer identified as sender,  but is effective as an order of the customer pursuant to section 47-4A202,  subsection 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 entrusted at any time with duties to act for the customer with respect to payment orders or the security procedure or 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. Information includes any access device,  computer software or the like. B. This section applies to amendments of payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment orders.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A204 - Refund of payment and duty of customer to report with respect to unauthorized payment order

47-4A204.  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 which is not authorized and not effective as the order of the customer under section 47-4A202 or not enforceable,  in whole or in part,  against the customer under section 47-4A203,  the bank shall refund any payment of the payment order received from the customer to the extent 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 ninety 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 any recovery from the customer on account of a failure by the customer to give notification as stated in this section. B. Reasonable time under subsection A of this section may be fixed by agreement as stated in section 47-1302,  subsection B,  but the obligation of a receiving bank to refund payment as stated in subsection A of this section may not otherwise be varied by agreement.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A205 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A205 - Erroneous payment orders

47-4A205.  Erroneous payment orders A. If an accepted payment order was transmitted pursuant to a security procedure for the detection of error and the payment order erroneously instructed payment to a beneficiary not intended by the sender,  erroneously instructed payment in an amount greater than the amount intended by the sender or was an erroneously transmitted duplicate of a payment order previously sent by the sender,  the following rules apply: 1. If the sender proves that the sender or a person acting on behalf of the sender pursuant to section 47-4A206 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 paragraphs 2 and 3. 2. If the funds transfer is completed on the basis of a payment order that erroneously instructed payment to a beneficiary not intended by the sender or that was an erroneously transmitted duplicate of a payment order previously sent by the sender,  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 a payment order that erroneously instructed payment in an amount greater than the amount intended by the sender,  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 described in subsection A of this section is not obliged to pay all or part of the order and 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 ninety 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.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A206 - Transmission of payment order through funds-transfer or other communication system

47-4A206.  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 deemed 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 it applies to payment orders.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A207 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A207 - Misdescription of beneficiary

47-4A207.  Misdescription of beneficiary A. Subject to subsection B,  if,  in a payment order received by the beneficiary's bank,  the name,  bank account number or other identification of the beneficiary refers to a nonexistent or unidentifiable person or account,  no person has rights as a beneficiary of the order and acceptance of the order cannot occur. B. If a payment order received by the beneficiary's bank identifies the beneficiary both by name and by an identifying or bank account number and the name and number identify different persons,  the following rules apply: 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection C,  if the beneficiary's bank does not know that the name and number refer to different persons,  it may rely on the number as the proper identification of the beneficiary of the order. The beneficiary's bank need not determine whether the name and number refer to the same person. 2. If the beneficiary's bank pays the person identified by name or knows that the name and number identify different persons,  no person has rights as beneficiary except the person paid by the beneficiary's bank if that person was entitled to receive payment from the originator of the funds transfer. If no person has rights as beneficiary,  acceptance of the order cannot occur. C. If a payment order described in subsection B is accepted,  the originator's payment order described the beneficiary inconsistently by name and number and the beneficiary's bank pays the person identified by number as permitted by subsection B,  paragraph 1,  the following rules apply: 1. If the originator is a bank,  the originator is obliged to pay its order. 2. If the originator is not a bank and proves that the person identified by number was not entitled to receive payment from the originator,  the originator is not obliged to pay its order unless the originator's bank proves that the originator,  before acceptance of the originator's order,  had notice that payment of a payment order issued by the originator might be made by the beneficiary's bank on the basis of an identifying or bank account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. Proof of notice may be made by any admissible evidence. The originator's bank satisfies the burden of proof if it proves that the originator,  before the payment order was accepted,  signed a writing stating the information to which the notice relates. D. In a case governed by subsection B,  paragraph 1,  if the beneficiary's bank rightfully pays the person identified by number and that person was not entitled to receive payment from the originator,  the amount paid may be recovered from that person to the extent allowed by the law governing mistake and restitution as follows: 1. If the originator is obliged to pay its payment order as stated in subsection C,  the originator has the right to recover. 2. If the originator is not a bank and is not obliged to pay its payment order,  the originator's bank has the right to recover.
AZ Rev Stat § 47-4A208 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-4A208 - Misdescription of intermediary bank or beneficiary's bank

47-4A208.  Misdescription of intermediary bank or beneficiary's bank A. The following rules 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 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 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,  paragraph 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 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 47-4A302,  subsection A,  paragraph 1.
