(4A-301) Execution and execution date
N.D. Cent. Code § 41-04.1-21
in effect41-04.1-21. (4A-301) Execution and execution date
1. 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 may be accepted but may not be executed.
2. "Execution date" of a payment order means the day on which the receiving bank may
properly issue a payment-order 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.
