Section § 7100

Explanation

This law says that a financial association can allow account holders to withdraw money using checks or similar methods to pay third parties. However, this is only allowed for accounts that earn interest or dividends if the money is fully owned by individuals or non-profit organizations. Additionally, the association can automatically transfer funds as directed by the account holder.
