prepositions - be expected from vs. be expected by

Would you let me know the difference between the following sentences?





  1. The company’s third loan payment is expected from ABC Bank on Friday.

  2. The company’s third loan payment is expected by ABC Bank on Friday.

  3. The third loan payment is expected from the company on Friday.





I think #2 and #3 have almost the same meaning, but I can't understand #1.
I don't know why 'from' is used in #1. #2 and #3 is much more clear than #1.
(Sorry, there is no context, so please make up some contexts for the above sentences.)
