Workflow

A defined pathway from requirement to outcome.

The page has its own transaction flow so it does not repeat the same service pattern used elsewhere.

01

Commercial terms

Confirm parties, amount, Incoterms, shipment details and documentary requirements.

02

Application support

Organise information required for the issuing bank or authorised provider route.

03

Document presentation

Track documents against LC terms, presentation timing and discrepancy risks.

04

Amendment or closure

Maintain visibility over amendments, payment status, expiry or closure evidence.

Control points

What the workflow keeps visible.

These control points keep documents, timing and handoffs organised around the instrument.

Consultancy and coordination, not instrument issuance.

MCB can help organise requirements, document packs, review notes and workflow visibility. Issuance, approval, verification and regulated decisions remain with the relevant authorised parties.

  • Prepares structured information for handoff.
  • Tracks documents, timing and unresolved actions.
  • Keeps role boundaries clear throughout the workflow.

Next step
