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bank is rejecting the order or that funds with respect to the order may not be withdrawn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.
