eUCP directory live on ICC website

13/11/2023

The eUCP Directory is now live on the ICCWBO website in the Trade and Supply chain finance page. This repository information on eUCP capabilities from banks is an initiative led by the ICC commercialization working group in an effort to highlight the handling capacities of each bank when it comes to eUCP letters of credit. 

It is intended to be simple and insightful by providing :

Capability to issue eUCP LCs

Capability to advise eUCP LCs

Specific parameters (platform used, options, limitations…)

Point of contact to learn more

If you wish your bank’s information to be featured in the directory, feel free to contact tomasch.kubiak@iccwbo.org and your local ICC National Committee.

Latest Question

A credit required: “1 COPY OF APPL'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID (THE REMAINING CLAIMING AMOUNT). THE REMAINING CLAIMING AMOUNT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE AMOUNT AND EIGHTY PERCENT (80%) INVOICE AMOUNT OF THE PROVISIONAL INVOICE. WITHIN FIVE (05) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF COPY OF FINAL INVOICE FROM THE BENEFICIARY THROUGH ELECTRONIC MAIL, THE APPLICANT SHALL SEND COPY OF APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF DRAWING CERTIFYING THAT THE DRAWING AMOUNT IS IN ORDER. IN THE EVENT THAT APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN ABOVE MENTIONED TIME, THE BENEFICIARY SHALL PRESENT 20% LC DOCUMENT AGAINST DISCHARGE PORT DOCUMENTS WITHOUT APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF DRAWING.” Beneficiary presented their confirmation with amount to be paid being the difference between the final purchase price amount and 80% invoice amount of the provisional invoice. Can issuing bank raise a discrepancy of: 1. Certificate of confirmation not issued by the applicant as LC required or 2. Unpresentation 1 copy of applicant’s certificate of confirmation unpresentation. Because issuing bank received applicant’s confirmation that amount to be paid differs with amount to be paid by beneficiary (applicant showed deduction which is not mention under LC) plus applicant provided proof that applicant sent email to beneficiary within 5 banking days as LC required and amount to be paid. Whether or not applicant is protected by any terms or conditions of UCP, ISBP or ICC opinions,… because they presented applicant’s confirmation to beneficiary but beneficiary did not present applicant's document under their presentation?
