For the smooth handling of large amount of funds between many people, it is a system under which a bank acting as a intermediary performs such act without involvement in the existence of legal relations, which are the cause of the transfer of each fund. Therefore, in a case where a bank is transferred in cash or account transfer, it is limited to the basic terms and conditions of deposit transaction that it becomes a deposit when it enters into a ledger of deposit, and there is no separate agreement between the payee and the bank, and it shall be determined whether there exists legal relations, which is the cause of account transfer between the payee and the bank. 20. 6. 7. 6. 7. 6. 206. 6. 7. 6. 706. 6. 606. 206. 206. 7. 606. 7. 60. 206. 206. 3. 3. 206. 3. 6. 7. 206. 3 of account transfer claim between the payee and the account transfer claim.
