(b) If the sender and receiving bank are members of a funds transfer
system that nets obligations multilaterally among participants, the
receiving bank receives final settlement when settlement is complete in
accordance with the rules of the system. The obligation of the sender to
pay the amount of a payment order transmitted through the funds transfer
system may be satisfied, to the extent permitted by the rules of the
system, by setting off and applying against the sender's obligation the
right of the sender to receive payment from the receiving bank of the
amount of any other payment order transmitted to the sender by the
receiving bank through the funds transfer system. The aggregate balance of
obligations owed by each sender to each receiving bank in the
funds transfer system may be satisfied, to the extent permitted by the
rules of the system, by setting off and applying against that balance the
aggregate balance of obligations owed to the sender by other members of the
system. The aggregate balance is determined after the right of setoff
stated in the second sentence of this subsection has been exercised.
(c) If 2 banks transmit payment orders to each other under an agreement
that settlement of the obligations of each bank to the other under Section
4A-402 will be made at the end of the day or other period, the total amount
owed with respect to all orders transmitted by one bank shall be set off
against the total amount owed with respect to all orders transmitted by the
other bank. To the extent of the setoff, each bank has made payment to the
other.
(d) In a case not covered by subsection (a), the time when payment of
the sender's obligation under Section 4A-402(b) or 4A-402(c) occurs is
governed by applicable principles of law that determine when an obligation
is satisfied.
