Introduction

When a consumer opens an account with a bank, the bank becomes obligated to the customer regarding specific rights and responsibilities. These rights and obligations are sometimes known as “Bankers’ Special Relationship.” The special relationships between banker and customer are as follows:

Mandate

A mandate contract is a contract between the parties in which the mandatary is expected to carry out a task in place of the mandator, and the mandator is just required to pay if agreed upon or mandated by law.
The consumer notifies the bank that he has appointed someone to manage his account on his behalf (mandate).
The customer verifies the mandate signatures that are gathered in the mandate letter.
Normally, the mandate is only granted for a certain time.
Institutional mandates are not acceptable.
A power of attorney can be issued by an institution.

Power of attorney

A power of attorney is an authorisation document in which people or legal organisations permit others to represent or act on their behalf to create and fulfil civil transactions. In general, two forms of POA are provided:

General or Universal
Special or Limited

Note: The mandate and power of attorney provide a third party with authority to act on behalf of the primary person or persons. In the operation of bank accounts, the powers of mandate and powers of attorney holders are relatively similar, although they are provided for various reasons and objectives. A mandate is a basic letter of authorisation signed by a constituent authorising the bank to run his or her account on his or her behalf.

Letter of authority

A letter of authorisation is used to reveal confidential information or delegate a specific responsibility. On the other hand, a power of attorney gives someone else complete authority to act and make decisions on their behalf. The authority can be limited to a specific task, such as the purchase of real estate or a business deal, or it can be broad, granting complete authority to make all decisions on their behalf.
