Section 7-4A-302 Obligations of receiving bank in execution of payment order. (a) Except as
provided in subsections (b) through (d), if the receiving bank accepts a payment order pursuant
to Section 7-4A-209(a), the bank has the following obligations in executing the order: (1)
The receiving bank is obliged to issue, on the execution date, a payment order complying with
the sender's order and to follow the sender's instructions concerning (i) any intermediary
bank or funds-transfer system to be used in carrying out the funds transfer, or (ii) the means
by which payment orders are to be transmitted in the funds transfer. If the originator's bank

the intermediary bank according to the instruction of the originator. An intermediary bank

7-4A-210
Section 7-4A-210 Rejection of payment order. (a) A payment order is rejected by the receiving
bank by a notice of rejection transmitted to the sender orally, electronically, or in writing.
A notice of rejection need not use any particular words and is sufficient if it indicates
that the receiving bank is rejecting the order or will not execute or pay the order. Rejection
is effective when the notice is given if transmission is by a means that is reasonable in
the circumstances. If notice of rejection is given by a means that is not reasonable, rejection
is effective when the notice is received. If an agreement of the sender and receiving bank
establishes the means to be used to reject a payment order, (i) any means complying with the
agreement is reasonable, and (ii) any means not complying is not reasonable unless no significant
delay in receipt of the notice resulted from the use of the noncomplying means. (b) This subsection
applies if a receiving bank other than the beneficiary's...

7-4A-301
Section 7-4A-301 Execution and execution date. (a) A payment order is "executed"
by the receiving bank when it issues a payment order intended to carry out the payment order
received by the bank. A payment order received by the beneficiary's bank can be accepted but
cannot be executed. (b) "Execution date" of a payment order means the day on which
the receiving bank may properly issue a payment order in execution of the sender's order.
The execution date may be determined by instruction of the sender but cannot be earlier than
the day the order is received and, unless otherwise determined, is the day the order is received.
If the sender's instruction states a payment date, the execution date is the payment date
or an earlier date on which execution is reasonably necessary to allow payment to the beneficiary
on the payment date. (Acts 1992, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 92-701, p. 145, §1.)...

Section 7-4A-502 Creditor process served on receiving bank; setoff by beneficiary's bank. (a)
As used in this section, "creditor process" means levy, attachment, garnishment,
notice of lien, sequestration, or similar process issued by, or on behalf of a creditor or
other claimant with respect to an account. (b) This subsection applies to creditor process
with respect to an authorized account of the sender of a payment order if the creditor process
is served on the receiving bank. For the purpose of determining rights with respect to the
creditor process, if the receiving bank accepts the payment order the balance in the authorized
account is deemed to be reduced by the amount of the payment order to the extent the bank
did not otherwise receive payment of the order, unless the creditor process is served at a
time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before the bank
accepts the payment order. (c) If a beneficiary's bank has received a payment order...
