A collecting bank must send items by a reasonably prompt method, and it may send items directly to the payor bank or to a nonbank payor in the stated cases.

A payor bank can be liable for the amount of certain items if it returns or settles them too late.
A payor bank may still accept, pay, certify, or charge items in any order, but late notice, stop-payment orders, legal process, or setoff cannot change the bank’s right or duty to pay or charge once the listed timing point has passed.
A bank may charge a customer’s account for properly payable items, including certain overdrafts and some checks paid before their date, subject to notice of postdating and good-faith rules for altered or completed items.
A payor bank may dishonor an item that would overdraw the account unless it agreed to cover the overdraft, and it is liable to the customer for damages caused by wrongful dishonor.
Customers, or authorized signers in some cases, may stop payment on an item or close the account by giving the bank a reasonably certain order; the customer bears the burden of proving loss from a wrongful payment.
