If an Export Transaction is received outside of the system, e.g., via an email attachment, it is possible to upload this into the system. Go to ELCYmbp, Export Workbench, Upload Export Doc LC, Upload Export SBLC or Upload Export GTEE as appropriate.

Select the type of Export message you have received.  Use FreeText if you only have a PDF copy.

Complete the relevant box (highlighted in yellow) with all or part of the Swift code of the bank, then click on the down arrow to select the right bank from the list.

Important – even if you have typed in the 11-digit Swift code, you should click on the arrow and select the right bank to ensure it is recorded correctly.

If you have a pre-advice for this transaction, select it to bring in the details. Otherwise, enter or select from the drop downs the details of the sending and issuing banks, the applicant and beneficiary companies.

Enter the financial information about the transaction, including the reference number and confirmation status.

Paste in the text or attach a txt file containing the text of the SWIFT message for the LC or Guarantee, attach the main file first and the fields will automatically populate.  Then attach the continuation messages.

For Freetext only, you can attach a PDF copy of the files you received for the cover letter and the transaction itself.

Then click on Create.
