There can be a scenarion where there are multiple applicants for one LC. This is in case of Contract Financing where there are multiple applicants involved and venruting a project and need LC and issueing bank providing the Credit against these multiple applicants. But any point of time, there could be one main applicant. MT700 - Issuance of LC, Supports single applicant to be mentioned in the message.

Also, there can be a scenario where in there may be more than one bank participating in providing the credit.
This may be termed as LC Syndication which is a practice in some regions like Middle east.

Requst Some one to throw light on LC Syndication.
