Once again on Advising bank dilemma
Posted: Sat May 15, 2021 6:13 pm
Hi Pals,
a customer of a bank dealt with a buyer in Indonesia to sell the goods, payment by lc, and indicates the bank to be advised by Swift.
Unfortunately the buyer's bank has no Swift RMA with the seller's bank, nor its Parent Bank in Singapore, where all foreign transactions are controlled. The issuing bank decided to send a MT700 to Singapore, and Singapore sent MT710 to a bank in Milan,
as the MT700 indicated them in field 57A.
The bank in Milan was completely unaware of the beneficiary, but sent the advice, probably the same MT710 to the Branch near the city resulted by the beneficiary address. So the message reached beneficiary after one week. If then transmitted by MT710 to the beneficiary bank, the latter is a second advising bank. If the issuinf bank instructed its Parent Bank properly, field 57A had contained the beneficiary's bank name, the Parent Bank could send a MT710 to one of its correspondent in Italy, for further transmittal,MT710 to the beneficiary bank. The first bank in Italy would be only a receiver and the beneficiary bank the advising bank.
.
Please your comments.
