Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 1304.64, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1304.64.
(A) Subject to division (D) of this section, a receiving bank other than the beneficiary's
bank accepts a payment order when it executes the order. (B) Subject to divisions (C) and (D) of this section, a beneficiary's bank accepts a
payment order at the earliest of the following times: (1) When the bank pays the beneficiary as provided in division (A) or (B) of section 1304.77 of the Revised Code , or notifies the beneficiary of receipt of the order or that the account of the beneficiary
has been credited with respect to the order, unless the notice indicates that the
bank is rejecting the order or that funds with respect to the order may not be withdrawn
or used until receipt of payment from the sender of the order; (2) When the bank receives payment of the entire amount of the sender's order pursuant
to division (A)(1) or (2) of section 1304.75 of the Revised Code; (3) The opening of the next funds-transfer business day of the bank following the payment
date of the order if, at that time, the amount of the sender's order is fully covered
by a withdrawable credit balance in an authorized account of the sender or the bank
has otherwise received full payment from the sender, unless the order was rejected
before that time or is rejected within one hour after that time, or one hour after
the opening of the next business day of the sender following the payment date if that
time is later. If notice of rejection is received by the sender after the payment date and the
authorized account of the sender does not bear interest, the bank shall pay interest
to the sender on the amount of the order for the number of days elapsing after the
payment date to the day the sender receives notice or learns that the order was not
accepted, counting that day as an elapsed day. If the withdrawable credit balance during that period falls below the amount of
the order, the amount of interest payable is reduced accordingly. (C) Acceptance of a payment order cannot occur before the order is received by the receiving
bank. Acceptance does not occur under division (B)(2) or (3) of this section if the beneficiary
of the payment order does not have an account with the receiving bank, the account
has been closed, or the receiving bank is not permitted by law to receive credits
for the beneficiary's account. (D) A payment order issued to the originator's bank cannot be accepted until the payment
date if the bank is the beneficiary's bank, or the execution date if the bank is not
the beneficiary's bank. If the originator's bank executes the originator's payment order before the execution
date or pays the beneficiary of the originator's payment order before the payment
date and the payment order is subsequently canceled pursuant to division (B) of section 1304.66 of the Revised Code , the bank may recover from the beneficiary any payment received to the extent allowed
by the law governing mistake and restitution.
