(a) A payment order shall be deemed rejected by the receiving bank by a notice of rejection transmitted to the sender orally or in a record. A notice of rejection need not use any particular words and shall be sufficient if it indicates that the receiving bank is rejecting the order or will not execute or pay the order. Rejection shall be deemed effective when the notice is given if transmission is by a means that is reasonable in the circumstances. If notice of rejection is given by a means that is not reasonable, rejection shall be deemed effective when the notice is received. If an agreement of the sender and receiving bank establishes the means to be used to reject a payment order, (i) any means complying with the agreement shall be deemed reasonable and (ii) any means not complying shall be deemed not reasonable unless no significant delay in receipt of the notice resulted from the use of the noncomplying means.
