12 U.S.C. § 345 — Rediscount of notes, drafts, and bills for member banks; limitation of amount
submitted 113 years ago by ch. 6 to r/title-12-BANKS-AND-BANKING · 90 words · no verdicts yet
A person, partnership, or company can only owe so much on notes and bills rediscounted for one member bank. That limit matches what a national bank could lawfully lend the same borrower. This does not change what kinds of paper Federal Reserve banks may currently rediscount.
The aggregate of notes, drafts, and bills upon which any person*, copartnership, association, or corporation is liable as maker, acceptor, indorser, drawer, or guarantor, rediscounted for any member bank, shall at no time exceed the amount for which such person, copartnership, association, or corporation may lawfully become liable to a national banking association under the terms of section 84 of this title: Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be construed to change the character or class of paper now eligible for rediscount by Federal reserve banks.
