If the bank accepts the signature it doesn't matter whether it is legally binding or not. Many years ago Standard Life and Scottish Widows jointly owned a computer. Every year an AGM was held. There were just three people there and I was one. There were supposed to be directors and shareholders. The Scottish Widows representative was a stickler for accuracy and protocol. He was filled to the brim with chagrin when, one year, it was pointed out that all the meetings to date were invalid because of some legal technicality such as shareholders not being present or having sent proxies. The moral is that the legal situation does not matter at all unless someone complains.
