§ 336.4-215 — Final Payment of Item by Payor Bank; When Provisional Debits and Credits Become Final; When Certain Credits Become Available for Withdrawal

Plain-Language Summary

A check is 'finally paid' by the payor bank when it pays in cash, settles without the right to revoke, makes a provisional settlement without revoking in time, or fails to return the item by its midnight deadline. Final payment ends any right to return the item.

Practical Notes
Once the paying bank finally pays a check (usually by not returning it before its midnight deadline), the payment is permanent and cannot be reversed.
