HRS §490:4A-304

Your duty to report a wrong payment order

If a bank wrongly carries out your payment order and tells you about it, you must check whether it was wrong and tell the bank within a reasonable time, at most 90 days. If you don't, the bank doesn't have to pay you interest on a refund. The bank can't charge you for your failure.

The statute, as written — Duty of sender to report erroneously executed payment order

If the sender of a payment order that is erroneously executed as stated in section 490:4A-303 receives notification from the receiving bank that the order was executed or that the sender's account was debited with respect to the order, the sender has a duty to exercise ordinary care to determine, on the basis of information available to the sender, that the order was erroneously executed and to notify the bank of the relevant facts within a reasonable time not exceeding ninety days after the notification from the bank was received by the sender. If the sender fails to perform that duty, the bank is not obliged to pay interest on any amount refundable to the sender under section 490:4A-402(d) for the period before the bank learns of the execution error. The bank is not entitled to any recovery from the sender on account of a failure by the sender to perform the duty stated in this section.
