20. Banks Right Of Set-Of

All operations between the Bank and the Customer of whatsoever nature shall be considered and treated by the Bank for all purposes as a single integral and indivisible account and the Bank may:

(a) without notice utilise any credit balance in the Account (whether current, loan, savings, time deposit or any other type of account or in the account of any other person for whom the Customer has agreed to act as surety) to pay any Debt due to the Bank from the Customer or any other person whom the Customer has agreed to act as guarantor and/or surety. This right of Set-Off shall be in addition to, and shall not impair or affect, any of the Bank’s other rights of recovery;

(b) convert, at the Bank’s prevailing rates of exchange, any money held by the Bank in a Foreign Currency which is subject to the Bank’s lien and thereafter exercise the Bank’s right of Set-Off. The Bank accepts no liability for any loss caused by such currency conversion; and

(c) liquidate a time deposit (including those denominated in Foreign Currency and/or for a given period of time) and exercise the Bank’s right of Set-Off against the Debt notwithstanding that the time period of the deposit has not expired or interest accrued.
