§ 7-1-602. Final settlement of transaction account -- Limitation of action on accuracy of statement -- Duty to examine statement and notify of errors unaffected.

(1) Two years after a statement of a checking or other transaction account has been rendered to a depositor, the account shall be considered finally adjusted and settled and its correctness conclusively presumed as of the date the statement is rendered.

(2) The depositor may not maintain an action on the correctness or accuracy of the statement of account unless it is commenced within two years next after the date the statement was rendered.

(3) For the purpose of this section a statement of account shall be considered rendered if at the time the statement is purported to have been made, the depository institution in the course of its business regularly mailed or otherwise delivered to its depositor customers monthly or at other regular intervals statements of their checking and other transaction accounts, itemizing debit and credit entries.

(4) The date the statement is rendered is considered to be the first day of the month following the period covered by the statement as evidenced by the record of the account kept by the depository institution.

(5) Nothing in this section relieves a depositor from the duties imposed under Section 70A-4-406 to examine the statement of account, when rendered by the depository institution, and to immediately notify the depository institution of any errors discovered in it, nor from the legal consequences of neglect of those duties.
