Since a draft was included in the presentation at issue in ICC Opinion TA.948, it prompts important questions about examination not only under UCP but also under bills of exchange law.
The ICC announced on 13 August 2023 release of the first application programming interface (API) industry standards for bank guarantees and standby letters of credit in a joint effort with Swift. The collaborative work involved banks, corporates, fintech platforms, and service providers to create innovative standards to streamline the entire life cycle of financial instruments, including issuance, advising, amendments, cancellations, and claims.
In another post, DCW will report further on what this development means for trade finance practitioners and next steps regarding testing, implementation, and adoption by the industry.
