Ohio § 1304.63

§ 1304.63.

(A)(1) Divisions (A)(2) and (3) of this section apply to a payment order identifying an

intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank only by an identifying number. (2) The receiving bank may rely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary

or beneficiary's bank and need not determine whether the number identifies a bank. (3) The sender shall compensate the receiving bank for any loss and expenses incurred

by the receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting

to execute the order. (B)(1) Divisions (B)(2) to (5) of this section apply to a payment order identifying an intermediary

bank or the beneficiary's bank both by name and an identifying number if the name

and number identify different persons. (2) If the sender is a bank, the receiving bank may rely on the number as the proper

identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving bank, when

it executes the sender's order, does not know that the name and number identify different

persons.  The receiving bank need not determine whether the name and number refer to the same

person or whether the number refers to a bank.  The sender shall compensate the receiving bank for any loss and expenses incurred

by the receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting

to execute the order. (3) If the sender is not a bank, and the receiving bank proves that the sender, before

the payment order was accepted, had notice that the receiving bank might rely on the

number as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank even

if it identifies a person different from the bank identified by name, the rights and

obligations of the sender and the receiving bank are governed by division (B)(2) of

this section, as though the sender were a bank.  Proof of notice may be made by any admissible evidence.  The receiving bank satisfies the burden of proof it 1 it proves that the sender, before the payment order was accepted, signed a writing

stating the information to which the notice relates. (4) Regardless of whether the sender is a bank, the receiving bank may rely on the name

as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving

bank, at the time it executes the sender's order, does not know that the name and

number identify different persons.  The receiving bank need not determine whether the name and number refer to the same

person. (5) If the receiving bank knows that the name and number identify different persons,

reliance on either the name or the number in executing the sender's payment order

is a breach of the obligation as provided in division (A)(1) of section 1304.69 of the Revised Code . 1
