Suggested Answer:
Answer: The basic premise of negotiation is that a nominated
bank advances their own funds to the beneficiary. If a nominated bank
effects settlement to the beneficiary utilising funds that have already been
received from an issuing bank or reimbursing bank they are not
negotiating, they are honouring. Therefore,, the wording in the definition
of negotiation reflects that the act of advancing or agreeing to advance
funds is fulfilled by the nominated bank on or prior to the receipt of
reimbursement from the issuing bank.
Question:
Question: For a negotiation to occur is a draft a must?
Suggested answer:
answer: There is no requirement for a draft to be called for
under a negotiation credit. The definition of negotiation refers to “the
purchase…..of drafts….. And/or documents under a complying
presentation,…..”. The choice of whether a draft is required is usually
that of the issuing bank as part of their standard LC application form.
Suggested answer:
answer: A confirmation represents the giving of an
undertaking by the confirming bank in addition to that of the issuing
bank. As such, it is irrevocable. It should be noted that sub-article 8(b)
states that the confirming bank is irrevocably bound as of the time it
adds its confirmation to the credit.
Suggested answer:
answer: The answer lies in the definition of “Presenter” i.e. a
beneficiary, a bank or other party that makes a presentation. In most
cases, it will be a beneficiary or their bankers that will present to a
nominated bank. It can also be a freight forwarder that may be
providing the beneficiary with services such as document preparation.
