Read at publisher ↗
Where this section sits in the code

    (1) If the beneficiary's bank credits an account of the beneficiary of a payment order,

    payment of the bank's obligation under KRS 355.4A -404(1) occurs when and to the

    extent:

    (a) The beneficiary is notified of the right to withdraw the credit;

    (b) The bank lawfully applies the credit to a debt of the beneficiary; or

    (c) Funds with respect to the order are otherwise made available to the beneficiary

    by the bank.

    (2) If the beneficiary's bank does not credit an account of the beneficiary of a payment

    order, the time when payment of the bank's obligation under KRS 355.4A -404(1)

    occurs is governed by principles of law that determine when an obligation is

    satisfied.

    (3) Except as stated in subsections (4) and (5), if the beneficiary's bank pays the

    beneficiary of a payment order under a condition to payment or agreement of the

    beneficiary giving the bank the right to recover payment from the beneficiary if the

    bank does not receive payment of the order, the condition to payment or agreement

    is not enforceable.

    (4) A funds-transfer system rule may provide that payments made to beneficiaries of

    funds transfers made through the system are provisional until receipt of payment by

    the beneficiary's bank of the payment order it accepted. A beneficiary's bank that

    makes a pay ment that is provisional under the rule is entitled to refund from the

    beneficiary if:

    (a) The rule requires that both the beneficiary and the originator be given notice

    of the provisional nature of the payment before the funds transfer is initiated;

    (b) The beneficiary, the beneficiary's bank, and the originator's bank agreed to be

    bound by the rule; and

    (c) The beneficiary's bank did not receive payment of the payment order that it

    accepted. If the beneficiary is obliged to refund payment to the beneficia ry's

    bank, acceptance of the payment order by the beneficiary's bank is nullified

    and no payment by the originator of the funds transfer to the beneficiary

    occurs under KRS 355.4A-406.

    (5) This subsection applies to a funds transfer that includes a payment order transmitted

    over a funds-transfer system that:

    (a) Nets obligations multilaterally among participants; and

    (b) Has in effect a loss -sharing agreement among participants for the purpose of

    providing funds necessary to complete settlement of the oblig ations of one (1)

    or more participants that do not meet their settlement obligations. If the

    beneficiary's bank in the funds transfer accepts a payment order and the

    system fails to complete settlement pursuant to its rules with respect to any

    payment order in the funds transfer,

    1. The acceptance by the beneficiary's bank is nullified and no person has

    any right or obligation based on the acceptance;

    2. The beneficiary's bank is entitled to recover payment from the

    beneficiary;

    3. No payment by the originator to the beneficiary occurs under KRS

    355.4A-406; and

    4. Subject to KRS 355.4A -402(5), each sender in the funds transfer is

    excused from its obligation to pay its payment order under KRS 355.4A-

    402(3) because the funds transfer has not been completed.
