Common use of Inconsistency of Name and Account Number Clause in Contracts

Inconsistency of Name and Account Number. If you give us a payment order to be wire transferred which identifies the beneficiary (recipient of funds) by name and account number, payment may be made by the beneficiary’s financial institution on the basis of the account number, even if it identifies a person different than the beneficiary. If you give us a payment order which identifies an intermediary or beneficiary’s financial institution by both name and identifying number, a receiving financial institution may rely on the number as the proper identification even if it identifies a different financial institution than the named financial institution.
