In accepting a payment order, the Bank may rely upon the identifying number (such as Fedwire routing number or account number) of the beneficiary, the beneficiary’s bank, or any intermediary bank and use only those numbers in executing the order. Similarly, the beneficiary’s bank may pay the payment order based on the account number you provide in the payment order even though the owner or holder of that account is different from the named beneficiary. We do not verify that there are no discrepancies between any identifying number and any associated name. Any discrepancy is entirely your responsibility. You are responsible for any inconsistency between any name and identifying number in a payment order you give to us. Therefore, you are responsible to make sure that the identifying number you include on any payment order is correct. The Bank may elect not to act on a payment order if the Bank thinks that the refusal is appropriate, in its sole discretion. For example, and only as examples, the Bank may decide not to act on a payment order if we are unable to obtain satisfactory verification of the payment order; if any inconsistency appears between the payment order and any information that the Bank has; or if the payment order is not given in accordance with the Bank’s customary procedures. The Bank is not required to notify you of any incoming funds transfer that is deposited into your account, other than to include the amount in your next regular account statement. You may not withdraw such funds until the Bank receives payment from the sending bank.
