HRS §490:4A-206

How payment orders are sent through transfer systems

When you send a payment order through a transfer system, the system acts as your agent to deliver it to the bank. If the system changes the order, the version the bank receives is considered yours. This rule does not apply to Federal Reserve Banks and also covers canceling or changing orders.

If there is a discrepancy between the terms of the payment order transmitted to the system and the terms of the payment order transmitted by the system to the bank, the terms of the payment order of the sender are those transmitted by the system. This section does not apply to a funds-transfer system of the Federal Reserve Banks.
