Why is MT760 used in trade?

MT760 belongs to a category of SWIFT Message Types for guaranteeing Letters of Credit. MT760 is a 10,000 character message which requests the issue of a guarantee or standby Letter of Credit.

If your business works with Bank Guarantees, Documentary Credits or Letters of Credit (LCs), the term ‘MT 760’ may have been used. MT 760 is a type of SWIFT message type (also known as SWIFTTFBIC), which is a unique bank identifier.

MT 760 can be used either by the party issuing or advising a beneficiary on a guarantee or standby Letter of Credit, or by the party issuing a counter-undertaking to the beneficiary.

MT 760 is another type of SWIFT message sent from an issuing bank to an advising bank, with details of the SBLC or bank guarantee. Generally, the MT 799 is subject to the rules of the following:

URDG (Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees)

ICC UCP 600 (International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credit)

ISP (International Standby Practices)

What are the rules of the MT 760?

Often MT 760s reach their maximum size limit, so one or more can be used to extend the size. Additional MT 760s require MT 761s, and up to eight can be sent on top of the original MT 760 to provide the relevant information on the SBLC or Guarantee.

It’s important to ensure that duplicate content is not added to supplementary MT 761s (e.g. the Undertaking Amount), and that the information does not conflict with the MT 760.

Sequence C (Optional Information) can only be used when Sequence B is for a counter-undertaking for a Guarantee or Letter of Credit.

What information is required by the financial institution?

Unlike with MT 799, the MT 760 requires much more information. The MT 760 can be used by both the recipient or beneficiary, and requires most information about a transaction, such as:

Parties involved (Issuer, Beneficiary, Applicant, Obligor, Advising Bank)

Transaction Details

Transport details and how the goods will be presented

Dates and timings
