Does A Collecting Bank Has To KYC A Remitting Bank?

Simple is Beautiful; the only thing came in my mind when thought of documentary collection. And I think more and more people are thinking the same in these days. Documentary Collection offers us far greater security than selling on open account; but not as much as a documentary credit. We should therefore be more cautious before starting selling using this method of payment. Documentary Collection Forum is an effort to help you on this way – admin; besttradesolution.com

Hi

Just a question. Does a collecting bank have to KYC a remitting bank? If so, why?

Thank you

Hi Pal,

I think you have to apply the Wolfsberg rule, and book the collec tion to the remitting bank, even if it is a sporadic event.
Other comments appreciated
Ciao
