Article 38 b of UCP600 states as follows: -
Transferring bank means a nominated bank that transfers the credit or, in a credit available with any bank, a bank that is specifically authorised by the issuing bank to transfer and that transfers the credit. An issuing bank may be a transferring bank.
My view:
If the credit mentions nominated bank, only that nominated bank should be the transferring bank.
More comment appreciable.
