The data processing system AAA and BBB exist between the issuing bank and presenting bank. An eUCP credit calls for full set of electronic records to be sent through data processing system AAA and the notice of completeness to be sent through SWIFT. On 5AUG2025, the presenting bank wrongly sent full set of electronic records through data processing system BBB but correctly sent the notice of completeness through SWIFT.
