SECTION 34.1-3-903 - Transfer or pledge within a central depository system.
34.1-3-903. Transfer or pledge within a central depository system.
(a) In addition to other methods, a transfer, pledge or release of a deposited instrument or any interest therein may be effected by the making of appropriate entries on the books of the registered clearing corporation having control of the deposited instrument reducing the account of the transferor, pledgor or pledgee and increasing the account of the transferee, pledgee or pledgor by the amount of the obligation or the instrument transferred, pledged or released in accordance with the rules, regulations, operating procedures and the like adopted or promulgated by the registered clearing corporation from time to time.
(b) Under this section entries may be with respect to like instruments or interests therein as part of a fungible bulk and may refer merely to a quantity of a particular instrument without reference to the name of the payee, number or the like and, in appropriate cases, may be on a net basis taking into account other transfers, pledges or releases of the same instrument.
(c) Except to the extent varied by section 34.1-3-905, or the rules, regulations, operating procedures and the like adopted or promulgated by a registered clearing corporation from time to time, or the contractual relations with such clearing corporation, a transfer, pledge or release under this section has the effect of a delivery of an instrument in bearer form or duly indorsed in blank representing the amount of the obligation or instrument being transferred, pledged or released. If a pledge or the creation of a security interest is intended, the making of entries has the effect of a taking of possession of the instrument by the pledgee or a secured party.
(d) That entries made on the books of the registered clearing corporation as provided in subsection (a) of this section are not appropriate, does not affect the validity or effect of the entries nor the liabilities or obligations of the registered clearing corporation to any person adversely affected thereby.
