Latest Question

We are the nominated bank. In accordance with the issuing bank’s instruction in field 49 (“CONFIRM”), we added our confirmation to the credit and advised it to the beneficiary. Subsequently, we received a presentation from the beneficiary, accompanied by a covering schedule expressly stating that our confirmation is not accepted. In this scenario: 1. Should we terminate our confirmation, or should we disregard the beneficiary’s instruction and maintain our confirmation? 2. If the answer is to terminate the confirmation, are we still entitled to claim the confirmation charges from the issuing bank? If so, how should the period of confirmation be calculated for fee purposes?
