When the ordering bank issues the letter of credit and it is received by your branch, you might be contacted with a copy of the Swift message received.
You should check all the terms and conditions to make sure you can fulfil them and that you will be able to present all the documents required within the stipulated timeframe. You should, therefore, make sure that the conditions indicated in the Swift message are as you were expecting, and as previously agreed with your customer.
Remember, in order to guarantee collection of payments owing to you, all the relevant documentation must be presented in line with requirements, and to this end, you must understand exactly what you are being asked for in the terms and conditions.
