When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money. He may 1 the repayment of the money at any time, either 2 cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person. 3 , the banker-customer relationship is that of debtor and creditor who is 4 depending on whether the customer's account is 5 credit or is overdrawn. But, in 6 to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer 7 a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give 8 to problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is 9 against him.
The bank must 10 its customer's instructions, and not those of anyone else. 11 , for example, a customer opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit his account only in 12 of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank 13 of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or 14 to pay out a customer's money 15 a check on which its customer's signature has been 16. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very 17 one: the bank must recognize its customer's signature. For this reason there is no 18 to the customer in the practice, 19 by banks, of printing the customer's name on his checks. If this 20 forgery, it is the bank that will lose, not the customer.
