Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. A bank may charge against the account
of a customer any item that is properly payable from that account even though
the charge creates an overdraft. An item is properly payable if it is
authorized by the customer and is in accordance with any agreement between the
customer and bank.
2. A customer is not liable for the amount
of an overdraft if the customer neither signed the item nor benefited from the
proceeds of the item.
3. A bank may charge against the account
of a customer a check that is otherwise properly payable from the account, even
though payment was made before the date of the check, unless the customer has
given notice to the bank of the postdating describing the check with reasonable
certainty. The notice is effective for the period stated in subsection 2 of NRS 104.4403 for stop-payment orders, and
must be received at such time and in such manner as to afford the bank a
reasonable opportunity to act on it before the bank takes any action with
respect to the check described in NRS
104.4303 . If a bank charges against the account of a customer a check before
the date stated in the notice of postdating, the bank is liable for damages for
the loss resulting from its act. The loss may include damages for dishonor of
subsequent items under NRS 104.4402 .
4. A bank which in good faith makes
payment to a holder may charge the indicated account of its customer according
to:
(a) The original terms of the customers altered
item; or
(b) The terms of the customers completed item,
even though the bank knows the item has been completed unless the bank has
notice that the completion was improper.
