[R742]

Query: When a credit states ‘may add’ regarding confirmation:


What does it mean?

Answer: ‘Such an instruction(i.e. may add) allows a


bank to add its Confirmation upon a request received
from the beneficiary. Such a request need not be
forthcoming at the time of advising the credit and may
occur at any time.’

ICC Banking Commission Opinion …....for Professionals
[R520*]

Query: How long a confirmation exist?

Answer: Where documents are presented to the


confirming bank within the validity of their
undertaking, and found to be discrepant, and the
confirming bank provides a notice of refusal in
accordance with the UCP, its undertaking would no
longer exist in respect of that presentation (subject to
the beneficiary being unable to correct the
discrepancies within the credit timelines).

ICC Banking Commission Opinion
[R520*]

If the documents, on instructions of the beneficiary, are


subsequently sent to the issuing bank on an approval basis and the
discrepancies are waived, the confirming bank has no obligation to
make payment unless it has indicated its willingness to do so at the
time of providing its notice of refusal.
The presentation of discrepant documents to the
confirming bank would end its obligation under the
credit unless it has stated otherwise, and the fact that
the issuing bank accepts a waiver of discrepancies
would not further obligate the confirming bank.’

Conclusion:

Once a nominated bank’s confirmation has lapsed as a result of


complying documents not being presented within the validity of the
credit, any subsequent agreement by the nominated bank either to
reinstate its confirmation or to agree to act as if its confirmation still
stands in respect of the presentation, is solely for the nominated bank
to decide. It may do so without further reference to, or authorization
from, the issuing bank.
