Where this section sits in the code

    (1) If, under this article, a receiving bank is obliged to pay interest with respect to a

    payment order issued to the bank, the amount payable may be determined:

    (a) By agreement of the sender and receiving bank; or

    (b) By a funds-transfer system rule if the p ayment order is transmitted through a

    funds-transfer system.

    (2) If the amount of interest is not determined by an agreement or rule as stated in

    subsection (1), the amount is calculated by multiplying the applicable Federal Funds

    rate by the amount on which interest is payable, and then multiplying the product by

    the number of days for which interest is payable. The applicable Federal Funds rate

    is the average of the Federal Funds rates published by the Federal Reserve Bank of

    New York for each of the days for which interest is payable divided by three

    hundred sixty (360). The Federal Funds rate for any day on which a published rate

    is not available is the same as the published rate for the next preceding day for

    which there is a published rate. If a receiv ing bank that accepted a payment order is

    required to refund payment to the sender of the order because the funds transfer was

    not completed, but the failure to complete was not due to any fault by the bank, the

    interest payable is reduced by a percentage equal to the reserve requirement on

    deposits of the receiving bank.
