Nevada § 104A.4502 - Creditor's process served on receiving bank; setoff by beneficiary's bank

§ 104A.4502. Creditor's process served on receiving bank; setoff by beneficiary's bank

1. As used in this section, “creditor's process” means levy, attachment, garnishment,

notice of lien, sequestration, or similar process issued by or on behalf of a creditor

or other claimant with respect to an account. 2. If creditor's process with respect to an authorized account of the sender of a

payment order is served on the receiving bank, and the receiving bank accepts the

payment order, the balance in the authorized account available for satisfaction of

the creditor's process is deemed to be reduced by the amount of the payment order

to the extent the bank did not otherwise receive payment of the order, unless the

creditor's process is served at a time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable

opportunity to act on it before the bank accepts the payment order. 3. If a beneficiary's bank has received a payment order for payment to the beneficiary's

account in the bank, the following rules apply: (a) The bank may credit the beneficiary's account. The amount credited may be set off against an obligation owed by the beneficiary to

the bank or may be applied to satisfy creditor's process served on the bank with respect

to the account. (b) The bank may credit the beneficiary's account and allow withdrawal of the amount

credited unless creditor's process with respect to the account is served at a time

and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act to prevent withdrawal. (c) If creditor's process with respect to the beneficiary's account has been served

and the bank has had a reasonable opportunity to act on it, the bank may not reject

the payment order except for a reason unrelated to the service of process. 4. Creditor's process with respect to a payment by the originator to the beneficiary

pursuant to a funds transfer may be served only on the beneficiary's bank with respect

to the debt owed by that bank to the beneficiary. Any other bank served with the creditor's process is not obliged to act with respect

to the process.
