COLLECTION OF ITEMS; DEPOSITARY AND COLLECTING BANKS > Medium and time of settlement by bank
Short Summary
This legal document governs the medium and time of settlement by a bank. It specifies that the medium and time of settlement may be prescribed by Federal Reserve regulations, clearinghouse rules, agreements, or similar provisions. In the absence of such prescription, the medium of settlement is cash or credit to an account in a Federal Reserve bank or as specified by the person receiving settlement. The time of settlement varies depending on the method of tender, such as cash, credit in a Federal Reserve bank account, credit or debit to a bank account, or funds transfer. If the tender of settlement is not authorized or the time of settlement is not fixed, no settlement occurs until the tender is accepted by the person receiving settlement. The document also outlines the finality of settlement for items made by cashier’s check, teller’s check, or authority to charge an account. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in this document.
