Short Summary
This legal document governs the medium and time of settlement by a bank. It applies to banks involved in settlement transactions. The document states that the medium and time of settlement may be prescribed by Federal Reserve regulations, circulars, clearinghouse rules, or by agreement. In the absence of a prescription, the medium of settlement is cash or credit to an account in a Federal Reserve Bank or specified by the person to receive settlement. The time of settlement varies depending on the method of tender of settlement, such as cash, cashier’s check, teller’s check, credit in an account, or funds transfer. If the tender of settlement is not authorized or the time of settlement is not fixed, settlement does not occur until the tender of settlement is accepted by the person receiving settlement. The document also specifies the finality of settlement for items made by cashier’s check, teller’s check, or authority to charge an account. No penalties are mentioned in this document.
