Hi

I am a newbie to Trade Finance, working now in a bank - appreciate the help all the gurus out there can offer!

Say,

Scenerio: if the advising bank has a good relationship with the exporter / seller, and accepts the discrepant LC and route it to the issuing bank stating LC in compliance (without getting any waiver / indemnity from seller)

What happens next in a worst case scenerio? What is the risk to this advising bank? Will the issuing bank not pay?

 

Thanks in advance

Advising bank

No risk whatsoever, provided the advising bank has not already paid the beneficiary.
