Dear friends,4 days of interest

How to request confirming bank to waive interest for delay payment -4 days. Confirming bank sent claim with value date 12/31/15. Documents received at issuing bank 12/30 and examination incorrectly claimed a discrepancy BL missing carrier name. Confirming bank replied that the carrier names was some where in the BL document. 2nd examination found it BL correct and payment done 1/4/16 dues to holidays in US bank was close 1/1 thru 1/3 . Confirming bank is claiming 4 days of interest. Any chance we can have confirming bank waive the claim or reduced the interest to 1 business day only?

your expertise and comments appreciated it

might be possible

:) well it might be possible. Contact the correspondent relationship department of the confirming bank. Quite often they consider small interest amount if you have good business history with them.
