Corporation Transfers Between Accounts

Question: 
It is our bank policy that corporations can not transfer funds from account to account. The corporation would have to write a check from one account and deposit that into the other account. Is this also a federal regulation and/or something covered by the Uniform Commercial Code?
Answer: 

No, neither federal law or the UCC would prohibit such a transfer. I admit to being stumped as to why the bank would have such a policy. It's not that I disagree with it, I just can't figure it out from the bank's point of view. It seems designed solely to impose good business practices on the customer.

This may be one of those bank policies that was instituted in response to a specific situation, but none of those involved at the time are still with you.

If there is someone out there who can add some insight, please post it in Threads under the same heading as above.
