Wording required as per 16c(i)

Hi Friends,

As per Article 16c(i) :

"The notice must state:
i. that the bank is refusing to honour or negotiate;"

If MT 734 is sent, then is it necessary to mention the above sentence since the SWIFT by its nature is a "Notice of refusal"?

TIA
SGN

20,
21.
32A

Hi,

What I meant was that that the title of the SWIFT type MT 734 being "Notice of Refusal" , isn't it obvious that the bank is "refusing to honour or negotiate?" What else can it refuse? So what is the purpose of separately stating "that the bank is refusing to honour or negotiate"

Waiting to hear from other members as well.

Thanks
SGN

What did you do in this case, SGN? I'm in a similar position with the bank, they refuse to honor or negotiate.
