Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) This section is subject to ss. 410.205 and 410.207.
(2) With respect to a payment order issued to the beneficiary’s bank, acceptance of the order by the bank obliges the
sender to pay the bank the amount of the order, but payment is not
due until the payment date of the order.
(3) This subsection is subject to sub. (5) and to s. 410.303.
With respect to a payment order issued to a receiving bank other
than the beneficiary’s bank, acceptance of the order by the receiving bank obliges the sender to pay the bank the amount of the
sender’s order. Payment by the sender is not due until the execution date of the sender’s order. The obligation of that sender to
pay its payment order is excused if the funds transfer is not completed by acceptance by the beneficiary’s bank of a payment order instructing payment to the beneficiary of that sender’s payment order.
(4) If the sender of a payment order pays the order and was
not obliged to pay all or part of the amount paid, the bank receiving payment is obliged to refund payment to the extent the sender
was not obliged to pay. Except as provided in ss. 410.204 and
410.304, interest is payable on the refundable amount from the
date of payment.
(5) If a funds transfer is not completed as stated in sub. (3)
and an intermediary bank is obliged to refund payment as stated
in sub. (4) but is unable to do so because not permitted by applicable law or because the bank suspends payments, a sender in the
funds transfer that executed a payment order in compliance with
an instruction, as stated in s. 410.302 (1) (a), to route the funds
transfer through that intermediary bank is entitled to receive or
retain payment from the sender of the payment order that it accepted. The first sender in the funds transfer that issued an instruction requiring routing through that intermediary bank is subrogated to the right of the bank that paid the intermediary bank to
refund as stated in sub. (4).
(6) The right of the sender of a payment order to be excused
from the obligation to pay the order as stated in sub. (3) or to receive refund under sub. (4) may not be varied by agreement.
