Hi Pal,

the sequence is applicant-issuing bank-beneficiary A, then beneficiary A-issuing bank-beneficiary B.
Two complete different l/c for the some goods.
No hamper, but a source of probably dispute!
Other comments appreciated
Ciao

Hi Pal,

Assuming that applicant and beneficiary A, are both customers, you could have extra difficulties, however
you have a knowledge about your customers behaviour.

Hi yes it could be. A different scenario we commonly had was the applicant and beneficiary of the LC were both the customers of the bank. It was never a problem - it boils down to integrity. Ravi
