Lost Check, Paid Against An Indemnity Letter

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

Lost Check, Paid Against An Indemnity Letter

Post by KarlBitar » Sat Mar 05, 2016 3:56 pm

Hello sirs,
Our bank just received today a copy of a check attached to a copy of an indemnity letter. And the presenting bank is asking us to pay against these 2 copies. What to do in such case as a bank?

Hi Pal,

it is common to pay a check under copy of the same and an indemnity.
I think that any Country has a different rule to treat this matter.
It will pay a big role if the check is not transferable or negotiable, however it is a problem for your legal dept.
Other comments appreciated
Ciao
