This message is sent by the paying, accepting or negotiating bank, or the bank incurring a deferred payment undertaking, to the issuing bank. It may also be sent by the bank to which documents have been presented to a bank that has been nominated to pay/accept.
It is used to advise the Receiver that documents were presented in accordance with the credit terms and are being forwarded as instructed.
The MT 754 may also be used:
for the settlement of the payment/negotiation
as a pre-notification of a reimbursement claim from the claiming bank to the issuing bank
as a pre-debit notification from the claiming bank to the issuing bank (note: where a pre-debit notification from the reimbursing bank to the issuing bank is required, banks should use the MT 799 Free Format message, specifying the future date of debit).
