HRS §490:4A-301
When a bank carries out a payment order
This section defines when a bank has "executed" a payment order and what the "execution date" means. It explains that a bank can only execute an order it receives, not one sent to the beneficiary's bank. The execution date is usually the day the order is received, unless the sender says otherwise.

The statute, as written — Execution and execution date
(a) 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 can be accepted but cannot be executed. (b) "Execution date" of a payment order means the day on which the receiving bank may properly issue a payment order in 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.
