13 Pa. C.S. § 4A201

Current through Pa Acts 2024-53, 2024-56 through 2024-79

Section 4A201 - Security procedure

"Security procedure" means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for the purpose of:

(1) verifying that a payment order or communication amending or canceling a payment order is that of the customer; or

(2) detecting error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or communication.

A security procedure may impose an obligation on the receiving bank or the customer and may require the use of algorithms or other codes, identifying words , numbers, symbols, sounds, biometrics, encryption, callback procedures or similar security devices. Comparison of a signature on a payment order or communication with an authorized specimen signature of the customer or requiring a payment order to be sent from a known email address, IP address or telephone number is not by itself a security procedure.
