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 applies to banks involved in settlement transactions. The document states that the medium and time of settlement may be prescribed by Federal Reserve regulations, clearing-house rules, or by agreement. 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 to 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, 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.
