Rejection of payment order
Official statutory text
REJECTION OF PAYMENT ORDER
(a) A payment order is rejected by the receiving bank by a
notice of rejection transmitted to the sender orally or in a record.
A notice of rejection need not use any particular words and is
sufficient if it indicates that the receiving bank is rejecting the
order or will not execute or pay the order. Rejection is effective
when the notice is given if transmission is by a means that is
reasonable in the circumstances. If notice of rejection is given by
a means that is not reasonable, rejection is effective when the
notice is received. If an agreement of the sender and receiving
bank establishes the means to be used to reject a payment order, (i)
any means complying with the agreement is reasonable and (ii) any
means not complying is not reasonable unless no significant delay in
receipt of the notice resulted from the use of the noncomplying
means.
(b) This subsection applies if a receiving bank other than the
beneficiary's bank fails to execute a payment order despite the
existence on the execution date of a withdrawable credit balance in
an authorized account of the sender sufficient to cover the order.
If the sender does not receive notice of rejection of the order on
the execution date and the authorized account of the sender does not
bear interest, the bank is obliged to pay interest to the sender on
the amount of the order for the number of days elapsing after the
execution date to the earlier of the day the order is canceled
pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 19 of this act or the day the
sender receives notice or learns that the order was not executed,
counting the final day of the period as an elapsed day. If the
withdrawable credit balance during that period falls below the
amount of the order, the amount of interest is reduced accordingly.
(c) If a receiving bank suspends payments, all unaccepted
payment orders issued to it are deemed rejected at the time the bank
suspends payments.

acceptance of the order.
