Section 3-501 of this title by the close of the bank's next banking
day after it knows of the requirement.

or request for compliance with a requirement under Section 3-501 of
this title is not received by the close of business on the day after
maturity or, in the case of demand items, by the close of business
on the third banking day after notice was sent, the presenting bank
may treat the item as dishonored and charge any drawer or indorser
by sending it notice of the facts.
