When a sender sends an item to a Reserve Bank, they are essentially asking the Reserve Bank to handle the item and ensure that it is processed correctly. In this context, the term "item" refers to a negotiable instrument, such as a check or a draft.

The sender of the item is responsible for ensuring that the item is valid and can be legally processed. Depending on the type of item being sent, there may be different warranties and regulations that apply.

In the context of electronic items that are substitute checks, the sender provides a warranty that the electronic item accurately represents the original paper check, and that it meets all the requirements of a substitute check under the Check 21 Act.

For other types of items, such as paper checks, the sender makes warranties to each Reserve Bank handling the item. These warranties include:

Good title: The sender warrants that they have the legal right to transfer the item and that there are no liens or other encumbrances on the item.
Entitlement to enforce: The sender warrants that they have the legal right to enforce the item and that there are no legal issues that would prevent the item from being processed.
No material alterations: The sender warrants that the item has not been materially altered in any way that would affect its validity.
All endorsements applied: The sender warrants that all necessary endorsements have been applied to the item by previous parties who handled it in either paper or electronic form.

In addition to these warranties, the sender also makes all of the warranties set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) as if the item were subject to the UCC. This includes warranties of title, transferability, and absence of defenses against the item.

Finally, the sender also makes all of the Regulation CC warranties as if the electronic item were a paper item subject to that regulation. Regulation CC governs the availability of funds and the collection of checks and other negotiable instruments, and its warranties include those related to collecting the item in a timely manner, ensuring that the item has not already been paid, and providing notice of any issues related to the item.
