AAA is the issuing bank and BBB is the nominated bank.
The expiry date is 01-02-2014 at the counter of the nominated bank. The beneficiary presented complied documents on 01- 02-2014 to the issuing bank directly.
Does this case represent a complying presentation?

Hi Pal,

art 6 a, second alinea is quite clear "A credit available with a nominated bank is also available with the issuing bank".
Other comments appreciated

Yes, presentation directly to issuing bank, even under confirmed LC is possible provided presentation made within LC validity and presentation period.

The only point you should be carefull is to ensure that no other presentation made to nominated bank.

Yes, I agree with Navi.
If the credit specified the nominated bank, the issuing bank should communicate with the nominated bank by stating that the beneficiary presented a stipulated documents to the issuing bank. This is for the nominated bank update their file or feed back of the status.

Any comment is appreciated.

Hy Navi,

I want to make things clear, in your comment document may be presented directly to the issuing bank even under confirmed LC. In case credit is available in Bank A, this means (Bank A is nominated bank), credit is confirmed by Bank B and issuing Bank in Bank C. What do you think can beneficiary present docs directly to Bank C and overcome confirming Bank?

Hi friend,

In my opinion,
Unless strictly forbidden in the LC, beneficiary can present docs directly to issuing bank. By doing this, beneficiary will not benefit confirmation/document checking services of confirming bank(s) however, presentastion will be valid and taken into account by the issuing bank.

Thank you for your reply.
