In order to facilitate the smooth handling of large amount of funds transfer between many people, a bank acting as a intermediary without involvement in the existence of legal relations, which are the cause of the transfer of funds. Therefore, in cases of cash transfer or account transfer, only the basic terms and conditions of deposit transactions, which serve as a deposit when deposit is recorded in the ledger of deposit transactions, and in the absence of such special circumstances as the existence of legal relations, which are the cause of account transfer between the payee and the bank. It is interpreted that a deposit contract is established between the payee and the bank, and that it should be decided upon the existence of legal relations, which are the cause of account transfer, between the payee and the bank. It is interpreted that a deposit contract is established between the payee and the bank, regardless of whether there exists legal relations as the cause of account transfer between the payee and the bank. It is interpreted that the payee’s right to claim the above amount of deposit account transfer should be 0. 2.
