Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. A bank may charge against the account of a customer an item which 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 complies 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 will be effective for the 
period stated in subsection 1 of section 41 -04-34 for stop orders, and must be 
received at a time and in a manner as to afford the bank a reasonable opportunity to 
act on it before any action by the bank with respect to the check described in section
