A paragraph of unremarkable, if unnecessary, throat-clearing, though marred by a bizarre for the avoidance of doubt rider which functions as both a non-sequitur — no one was talking about transfers here, much less was in any particular state of confusion about them so why bring it up now? — but also the classic self-hack: rather than avoiding doubt, this rider is calculated to do nothing quite so much as introduce it. Wait: was I meant to be doubting something here? Should I have been confused? Have I missed something?

There is nothing a cheerful attorney likes more than to worry about things, and she will toss sleeplessly for nights on end, fully occupied by questions such as — is “delivery” of cash different from “payment” of it? Is there something legally significant about “payment” that I somehow missed, in Banking Law 302, in 1989?
