Latest Question

We, as issuing bank, issued a credit to an advising bank (BANK A) which is available with BANK A by negotiation and authorised BANK A to add confirmation. The reimbursement clause in FIELD 78 is quote +UPON RECEIPT OF DOCUMENTS AND DRAFTS (IF ANY) AT OUR COUNTER IN COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS CREDIT, WE WILL HONOUR OR REIMBURSE THE NOMINATED BANK AS INSTRUCTED unquote Later, we received Swift message from BANK A quote + PLEASE NOTE THAT REIMBURSEMENT CLAUSE UNDER FIELD 78 NOT SUITABLE FOR IN CASE OF ADDING OUR CONFIRMATION.HENCE WE REQUEST YOUR GOOD BANK TO PROVIDE BELOW MODIFICATION IN ORDER TO ADD CONFIRMATION IF BENEFICIARY REQUESTED ''UPON RECEIPT OF DOCUMENTS AND DRAFTS (IF ANY) AT YOUR COUNTER IN COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS CREDIT WE WILL HONOUR OR REIMBURSE THE NOMINATED BANK AS INSTRUCTED.'' unquote Question: The only difference between our wording of the credit and the suggested wording by BANK A is ‘at our counter’ and ‘at your counter’ .If we amend our reimbursement clause as per bank A’s requirement, does it mean that although the suggested wording not specifically stated “T/T reimbursement allowed’, Bank A can still claim on us by Swift message and why?
