The MT 710 message, integral to the Swift network, is key in international trade finance. It facilitates the advising of documentary credits across banking institutions and non-bank entities.
Intended to advise banks about the terms and conditions of a documentary credit issued by another bank or a non-bank entity, the MT 710 allows communication between the issuing and advising banks, directly impacting the execution of international trade agreements.
Financial institutions and non-bank entities issuing documentary credits use the MT 710 to communicate these credits’ specifics to banks advising the beneficiaries. This broad user base includes international traders, banks, and corporates engaged in cross-border transactions, requiring precise and reliable documentary credit advisories.
The MT 710 is crucial for ensuring that beneficiaries are accurately informed about the documentary credits in their favour.
It formalises the notification process, facilitating trust and adherence to international trade agreements. By providing a standardised method for advising credits, the MT 710 supports the execution and fulfilment of contractual obligations in international trade, enhancing transactional efficiency and reliability.
