• Bank has the right to charge any properly payable check to depositor’s account even if an overdraft results

description of the check• While stop-payment order is in effect, bank is

• A drawee bank isn’t bound to certify a check, but if it certifies, it substitutes its promise to pay the check for the drawer’s promise and becomes obligated to pay the check– Bank debits customer’s account and transfers

it accepted primary liability and is essential for certification [3–409] (see page 840)
