§ 2506 Financing Agency Draft Rights

Key Takeaways

  • •If a bank or lender pays for a shipment of goods, they get the same rights as the person who sent the goods.
  • •The bank can stop the delivery of the goods if needed.
  • •If the bank pays in good faith, they can still get their money back even if there are problems with the paperwork later.

Example

A company ships toys to a store and uses a bank to handle the payment.

The bank pays the company for the toys. If the store doesn’t pay the bank, the bank can stop the toys from being delivered to the store. Even if there’s a mistake in the shipping papers later, the bank can still get its money back if it acted honestly.
