A. " Agreement for electronic presentment"  means an agreement,  clearing-house rule or federal reserve regulation or operating circular providing that presentment of an item may be made by transmission of an image of an item or information describing the item (" presentment notice" ) rather than delivery of the item itself. The agreement may provide for procedures governing retention,  presentment,  payment,  dishonor and other matters concerning items subject to the agreement.

47-4201.
Status of collecting bank as agent and provisional status of credits;  applicability of chapter;  item indorsed " pay any bank"
A. Unless a contrary intent clearly appears before the time that a settlement given by a collecting bank for an item is or becomes final,  the bank,  with respect to the item,  is an agent or subagent of the owner of the item and any settlement given for the item is provisional. This provision applies regardless of the form of indorsement or lack of indorsement and even though credit given for the item is subject to immediate withdrawal as of right or is in fact withdrawn;  but the continuance of ownership of an item by its owner and any rights of the owner to proceeds of the item are subject to rights of a collecting bank,  such as those resulting from outstanding advances on the item and rights of recoupment or setoff. If an item is handled by banks for purposes of presentment,  payment,  collection or return,  the relevant provisions of this chapter apply even though action of the parties clearly establishes that a particular bank has purchased the item and is the owner of it.
B. After an item has been indorsed with the words " pay any bank"  or the like,  only a bank may acquire the rights of a holder until the item has been:
1. Returned to the customer initiating collection;  or
2. Specially indorsed by a bank to a person who is not a bank.

3. Settling for an item when the bank receives final settlement;  and
4. Notifying its transferor of any loss or delay in transit within a reasonable time after discovery thereof.
B. A collecting bank exercises ordinary care under subsection A by taking proper action before its midnight deadline following receipt of an item,  notice or settlement. Taking proper action within a reasonably longer time may constitute the exercise of ordinary care,  but the bank has the burden of establishing timeliness.
C. Subject to paragraph 1 of subsection A,  a bank is not liable for the insolvency,  neglect,  misconduct,  mistake or default of another bank or person or for loss or destruction of an item in the possession of others or in transit.

The obligation of a transferor is owed to the transferee and to any subsequent collecting bank that takes the item in good faith. A transferor cannot disclaim its obligation under this subsection by an indorsement stating that it is made " without recourse"  or otherwise disclaiming liability.
C. A person to whom the warranties under subsection A of this section are made and who took the item in good faith may recover from the warrantor as damages for breach of warranty an amount equal to the loss suffered as a result of the breach,  but not more than the amount of the item plus expenses and loss of interest incurred as a result of the breach.
D. The warranties stated in subsection A of this section cannot be disclaimed with respect to checks. Unless notice of a claim for breach of warranty is given to the warrantor within thirty days after the claimant has reason to know of the breach and the identity of the warrantor,  the warrantor is discharged to the extent of any loss caused by the delay in giving notice of the claim.
E. A cause of action for breach of warranty under this section accrues when the claimant has reason to know of the breach.

1. No security agreement is necessary to make the security interest enforceable (section 47-9203,  subsection B,  paragraph 3,  subdivision (a));
2. No filing is required to perfect the security interests;  and

A. If a collecting bank has made provisional settlement with its customer for an item and fails by reason of dishonor,  suspension of payments by a bank or otherwise to receive settlement for the item which is or becomes final,  the bank may revoke the settlement given by it,  charge back the amount of any credit given for the item to its customer's account or obtain refund from its customer,  whether or not it is able to return the item,  if by its midnight deadline or within a longer reasonable time after it learns the facts it returns the item or sends notification of the facts. If the return or notice is delayed beyond the bank's midnight deadline or a longer reasonable time after it learns the facts,  the bank may revoke the settlement,  charge back the credit or obtain refund from its customer,  but it is liable for any loss resulting from the delay. These rights to revoke,  charge back and obtain refund terminate if and when a settlement for the item received by the bank is or becomes final.
B. A collecting bank returns an item when it is sent or delivered to the bank's customer or transferor or pursuant to its instructions.

47-4402.
Bank's liability to customer for wrongful dishonor;  time of determining insufficiency of amount

Liability is limited to actual damages proved and may include damages for an arrest or prosecution of the customer or other consequential damages. Whether any consequential damages are proximately caused by the wrongful dishonor is a question of fact to be determined in each case.
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.

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 fourteen 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.

Death or incompetence 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 incompetence of a customer of either bank existing at the time the item is issued or its collection is undertaken if the bank does not know of an adjudication of incompetence. Neither death nor incompetence of a customer revokes the authority to accept,  pay,  collect or account until the bank knows of the fact of death or of an adjudication of incompetence and has reasonable opportunity to act on it.
B. Even with knowledge,  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.

If a draft or the relevant instructions require presentment " on arrival" ,  " when goods arrive"  or the like,  the collecting bank need not present until in its judgment a reasonable time for arrival of the goods has expired. Refusal to pay or accept because the goods have not arrived is not dishonor;  the bank must notify its transferor of the refusal but need not present the draft again until it is instructed to do so or learns of the arrival of the goods.

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.

2023 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.
2023 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.
