Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

810 ILCS 5/4A-201

(810 ILCS 5/4A-201) (from Ch. 26, par. 4A-201)

Sec. 4A-201.

Security procedure.

"Security procedure" means a
procedure established by agreement of a customer and a receiving bank for
the purpose of (i) verifying that a payment order or communication amending
or cancelling a payment order is that of the customer, or (ii) detecting
error in the transmission or the content of the payment order or
communication.  A security procedure may require the use of algorithms or
other codes, identifying words or numbers, 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 is
not by itself a security procedure.
