Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If a fiduciary makes a deposit in a
bank to his personal credit of checks drawn by him upon an account in his own name as
fiduciary, or of checks payable to him as fiduciary, or of checks drawn by him upon an account
in the name of his principal if he is empowered to draw checks on that account, or of checks
payable to his principal and indorsed by him, if he is empowered to indorse such checks or if he
otherwise makes a deposit of funds held by him as fiduciary, the bank receiving such deposit is
not bound to inquire whether the fiduciary is committing a breach of his obligation as fiduciary
by that action; and the bank is authorized to pay the amount of the deposit or any part thereof
upon the personal check of the fiduciary without being liable to the principal, unless the bank
receives the deposit or pays the check with actual knowledge that the fiduciary is committing a
breach of his obligation as fiduciary in making such deposit or in drawing such check or with
knowledge of such facts that its action in receiving the deposit or paying the check amounts to
bad faith.
