UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE > Final Payment of Item by Payor Bank; When Provisional Debits and Credits Become Final; When Certain Credits Become Available for Withdrawal.
Short Summary
This legal document, part of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes under the Uniform Commercial Code, governs the final payment of items by payor banks, provisional settlement, and the availability of funds for withdrawal. It specifies that an item is finally paid by a payor bank when it is paid in cash, settled without the right to revoke the settlement, or provisionally settled and not revoked within the permitted time. If provisional settlement does not become final, the item is not considered finally paid. Provisional debits or credits for an item become final upon final payment of the item by the payor bank. If a collecting bank receives a settlement for an item that becomes final, it is accountable to its customer for the amount of the item. Credit given by a bank for an item in a customer’s account becomes available for withdrawal as of right under certain conditions. A deposit of money becomes available for withdrawal at the opening of the bank’s next banking day after receipt. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in this document.
