47-4A403. Payment by sender to receiving
bank
A. Payment of the sender's obligation under section 47-4A402 to pay the receiving
bank occurs as follows:
1. If the sender is a bank, payment occurs when the receiving bank receives final
settlement of the obligation through a federal reserve bank or through a funds-transfer
system.
2. If the sender is a bank and the sender credited an account of the receiving bank
with the sender or caused an account of the receiving bank in another bank to be
credited, payment occurs when the credit is withdrawn or, if not withdrawn, at midnight
of the day on which the credit is withdrawable and the receiving bank learns of that
fact.
3. If the receiving bank debits an account of the sender with the receiving bank,
payment occurs when the debit is made to the extent the debit is covered by a
withdrawable credit balance in the account.
B. If the sender and receiving bank are members of a funds-transfer system that
nets obligations multilaterally among participants, the receiving bank receives final
settlement when settlement is complete in accordance with the rules of the system. The
obligation of the sender to pay the amount of a payment order transmitted through the
funds-transfer system may be satisfied, to the extent permitted by the rules of the
system, by setting off and applying against the sender's obligation the right of the
sender to receive payment from the receiving bank of the amount of any other payment
order transmitted to the sender by the receiving bank through the funds-transfer
system. The aggregate balance of obligations owed by each sender to each receiving bank
in the funds-transfer system may be satisfied, to the extent permitted by the rules of
the system, by setting off and applying against that balance the aggregate balance of
obligations owed to the sender by other members of the system. The aggregate balance is
determined after the right of setoff stated in the second sentence of this subsection has
been exercised.
C. If two banks transmit payment orders to each other under an agreement that
settlement of the obligations of each bank to the other under section 47-4A402 will be
made at the end of the day or other period, the total amount owed with respect to all
orders transmitted by one bank shall be set off against the total amount owed with
respect to all orders transmitted by the other bank. To the extent of the setoff, each
bank has made payment to the other.
D. In a case not covered by subsection A of this section, the time when payment of
the sender's obligation under section 47-4A402, subsection B or C occurs is governed by
applicable principles of law that determine when an obligation is satisfied.
