Bank Deposits and Collections > Medium and time of settlement by bank
Short Summary
This section of the Indiana Code governs the medium and time of settlement by a bank. The medium and time of settlement may be prescribed by Federal Reserve regulations, circulars, clearing-house rules, or agreements. In the absence of such prescription, the medium of settlement is cash or credit to an account in a Federal Reserve bank or 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 section also provides rules for settlement by cashier’s check, teller’s check, and authority to charge an account. Settlement is considered final based on specific conditions. This section has been amended multiple times.
