Hi Pal,

MT700 admits in field 40 A: irrevoc trans standby, so it is possible to issue such type of SBLC, even if
by MT760 quoting the UCP 600 as applicable rules. Then art. 38 is applicable too.
A note SBLC is a guarantee and it is used when the applicant fails to pay or performs its undertaking,
transferring the rights is , IMHO, difficult and risky, however....
Other comments appreciated.
