§ 70A-4a-201. Security procedure.  


Latest version.
  • (1) "Security procedure" means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for the purpose of:
    (a) verifying that a payment order or communication amending or canceling a payment order is that of the customer; or
    (b) detecting error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or communication.
    (2) 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.
