A mandate is an unstamped written authorization given by a customer to a banker, allowing the banker's agent to operate on the customer's bank account. It legally permits bank managers to honor checks signed by the agent or person granted power of attorney by the customer. The mandate specifies the operations permitted, such as withdrawing cash, accessing securities, bill transactions, or overdrafts. Bankers must adhere strictly to the mandate without deviation, otherwise they could get into legal trouble. Mandates are obtained when opening an account or during contingencies, and are revoked if the customer becomes lunatic, dies, or becomes insolvent.
