The Uniform Rules for Bank-to-Bank Reimbursements under Documentary Credits (URR-725)
(Effective date: 01 October 2008)

URR 725 - Article 1 


Application of URR 

The Uniform Rules for Bank-to-Bank Reimbursements under Documentary Credits ("rules"), ICC Publication No. 725, shall apply to any bank-to-bank reimbursement when the text of the reimbursement authorization expressly indicates that it is subject to these rules. They are binding on all parties thereto, unless expressly modified or excluded by the reimbursement authorization. The issuing bank is responsible for indicating in the documentary credit ("credit") that reimbursement is subject to these rules. In a bank-to-bank reimbursement subject to these rules, the reimbursing bank acts on the instructions and under the authority of the issuing bank. These rules are not intended to override or change the provisions of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits.

URR 725 - Article 2

Definitions

For the purpose of these rules, the following terms shall have the meaning specified in this article and may be used in the singular or plural as appropriate:

a. "Issuing bank" means the bank that has issued a credit and the reimbursement authorization under that credit.
b. "Reimbursing bank" means the bank instructed or authorized to provide reimbursement pursuant to a reimbursement authorization issued by the issuing bank.
c. "Reimbursement authorization" means an instruction or authorization, independent of the credit, issued by an issuing bank
to a reimbursing bank to reimburse a claiming bank or, if so requested by the issuing bank, to accept and pay a time draft drawn on the reimbursing bank.
d. "Reimbursement amendment" means an advice from the issuing bank to a reimbursing bank stating changes to a reimbursement authorization.
e. "Claiming bank" means a bank that honours or negotiates a credit and presents a reimbursement claim to the reimbursing bank. "Claiming bank" includes a bank authorized to present a reimbursement claim to the reimbursing bank on behalf of the bank that honours or negotiates.
f. "Reimbursement claim" means a request for reimbursement from the claiming bank to the reimbursing bank.
g. "Reimbursement undertaking" means a separate irrevocable undertaking of the reimbursing bank, issued upon the authorization or request of the issuing bank, to the claiming bank named in the
reimbursement authorization, to honour that bank's reimbursement claim, provided the terms and conditions of the reimbursement undertaking have been complied with.
h. "Reimbursement undertaking amendment" means an advice from the reimbursing bank to the claiming bank named in the reimbursement authorization stating changes to a reimbursement undertaking.
i. For the purpose of these rules, branches of a bank in different countries are considered to be separate banks.

URR 725 - Article 3

Reimbursement Authorizations Versus Credits
A reimbursement authorization is separate from the credit to which it refers, and a reimbursing bank is not concerned with or bound by the terms and conditions of the credit, even if any reference whatsoever to it is included in the reimbursement authorization.

URR 725 - Article 4

Honour of a Reimbursement Claim Except as provided by the terms of its reimbursement undertaking, a reimbursing bank is not obligated to honour a reimbursement claim.

URR 725 - Article 5

Responsibility of the Issuing Bank The issuing bank is responsible for providing the information
required in these rules in both the reimbursement authorization and the credit, and is responsible for any consequences resulting from non-compliance with this provision.

URR 725 - Article 6

Issuance and Receipt of a Reimbursement Authorization or Reimbursement Amendment
a. All reimbursement authorizations and reimbursement amendments must be issued in the form of an authenticated teletransmission or a signed letter. When a credit or amendment thereto which has an effect on the reimbursement authorization is issued by teletransmission, the issuing bank should advise its reimbursement authorization or reimbursement amendment to the reimbursing bank by authenticated teletransmission. The teletransmission will be deemed the operative reimbursement authorization or reimbursement amendment, and any subsequent mail confirmation shall be disregarded.
b. An issuing bank must not send to a reimbursing bank:
i. a copy of the credit or any part thereof, or a copy of an amendment to the credit in place of or in addition to the reimbursement authorization or reimbursement amendment. If such copies are received by the reimbursing bank, they shall be disregarded.
ii. multiple reimbursement authorizations under one teletransmission or letter, unless expressly agreed to by the reimbursing bank.
c. An issuing bank shall not require a certificate of compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit in the reimbursement authorization.
d. A reimbursement authorization must (in addition to the requirement of article 1 for incorporation of reference to these rules) state the following:
i. credit number;
ii. currency and amount;
iii. additional amounts payable and tolerance, if any;
iv. claiming bank or, in the case of a freely available credit, that claims can be made by any bank. In the absence of any such indication, the reimbursing bank is authorized to pay any claiming bank;
v. parties responsible for charges (claiming bank's and reimbursing bank's charges) in accordance with article 16 of these rules.
A reimbursement amendment must state only the relative changes to the above and the credit number.
e. If the reimbursing bank is requested to accept and pay a time draft, the reimbursement authorization must indicate the following, in addition to the information specified in (d) above:
i. tenor of draft to be drawn;
ii. drawer;
iii. party responsible for acceptance and discount charges, if any.
A reimbursement amendment must state the relative changes to the above.
An issuing bank should not require a sight draft to be drawn on the reimbursing bank.
f. Any requirement for:
i. pre-notification of a reimbursement claim to the issuing bank must be included in the credit and not in the reimbursement authorization.
ii. pre-debit notification to the issuing bank must be indicated in the credit.
g. If the reimbursing bank is not prepared to act for any reason
whatsoever under the reimbursement authorization or reimbursement amendment, it must so inform the issuing bank without delay.
h. In addition to the provisions of articles 3 and 4, the reimbursing bank is not responsible for the consequences resulting from nonreimbursement or delay in reimbursement of reimbursement
claims when any provision contained in this article is not followed by the issuing bank or claiming bank.

URR 725 - Article 7

Expiry of a Reimbursement Authorization
Except to the extent expressly agreed to by the reimbursing bank, the reimbursement authorization should not be subject to an expiry date or latest date for presentation of a claim, except as indicated
in article 9. A reimbursing bank will assume no responsibility for the expiry date of a credit and, if such date is provided in the reimbursement authorization, it will be disregarded. The issuing bank must cancel its reimbursement authorization for any unutilized portion of the credit to which it refers, informing the reimbursing bank without delay.

URR 725 - Article 8

Amendment or Cancellation of a Reimbursement Authorization
Except where the issuing bank has authorized or requested the reimbursing bank to issue a reimbursement undertaking as provided in article 9, and the reimbursing bank has issued a reimbursement undertaking:
a. the issuing bank may issue a reimbursement amendment or cancel a reimbursement authorization at any time upon sending notice to that effect to the reimbursing bank.
b. the issuing bank must send notice of any amendment to a reimbursement authorization that has an effect on the reimbursement instructions contained in the credit to the nominated bank or, in the case of a freely available credit, the advising bank. In case of cancellation of the reimbursement authorization prior to expiry of the credit, the issuing bank must provide the nominated bank or the advising bank with new reimbursement instructions.
c. the issuing bank must reimburse the reimbursing bank for any reimbursement claims honoured or draft accepted by the reimbursing bank prior to the receipt by it of a notice of cancellation or reimbursement amendment.

URR 725 - Article 9

iii. additional amounts payable and tolerance, if any;

h. i. An irrevocable reimbursement authorization cannot be amended or cancelled without the agreement of the reimbursing bank.

inform the issuing bank without delay.
iii. An issuing bank that has issued its irrevocable reimbursement authorization amendment shall be irrevocably bound as of the time of its advice of the irrevocable reimbursement authorization
amendment.

URR 725 - Article 10

Standards for a Reimbursement Claim
a. The claiming bank's claim for reimbursement:
i. must be in the form of a teletransmission, unless specifically prohibited by the reimbursement authorization or an original letter.
A reimbursing bank has the right to request that a reimbursement claim be authenticated and, in such case, the reimbursing bank shall not be liable for any consequences resulting from any delay incurred. If a reimbursement claim is made by teletransmission, no mail confirmation is to be sent. In the event such a mail confirmation is sent, the claiming bank will be responsible for any consequences that may arise from a duplicate reimbursement;
ii. must clearly indicate the credit number and the issuing bank (and reimbursing bank's reference number, if known);
iii. must separately stipulate the principal amount claimed, any additional amount due and charges;
iv. must not be a copy of the claiming bank's advice of payment, deferred payment, acceptance or negotiation to the issuing bank;
v. must not include multiple reimbursement claims under one teletransmission or letter;
vi. must, in the case of a reimbursement undertaking, comply with the terms and conditions of the reimbursement undertaking.
b. When a time draft is to be drawn on the reimbursing bank, the claiming bank must forward the draft with the reimbursement claim to the reimbursing bank for processing and include, where appropriate, the following in its claim:
i. general description of the goods, services or performance;
ii. country of origin;
iii. place of destination or performance.
and if the transaction covers the shipment of merchandise:
iv. date of shipment;
v. place of shipment.
c. A reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility for any consequences that may arise out of any non-acceptance or delay of processing should the claiming bank fail to follow the provisions of this article.

URR 725 - Article 11

Processing a Reimbursement Claim
a. i. A reimbursing bank shall have a maximum of three banking days following the day of receipt of the reimbursement claim to process the claim. A reimbursement claim received outside banking hours will be deemed to be received on the next following banking day. If a pre-debit notification is required by the issuing bank, this predebit notification period shall be in addition to the processing period mentioned above.
ii. If the reimbursing bank determines not to reimburse, either because of a non-conforming claim under a reimbursement undertaking or for any reason whatsoever under a reimbursement authorization, it shall give notice to that effect by telecommunication or, if that is not possible, by other expeditious
means, no later than the close of the third banking day following the day of receipt of the claim (plus any additional period mentioned in sub-article (i) above). Such notice shall be sent to the claiming bank and the issuing bank and, in the case of a reimbursement undertaking, it must state the reasons for nonpayment of the claim.
b. A reimbursing bank will not process a request for back value (value dating prior to the date of a reimbursement claim) from the claiming bank.
c. When a reimbursing bank has not issued a reimbursement undertaking and a reimbursement is due on a future date:
i. the reimbursement claim must specify the predetermined reimbursement date;
ii. the reimbursement claim should not be presented to the reimbursing bank more than ten banking days prior to such predetermined date. If a reimbursement claim is presented more than ten banking days prior to the predetermined date, the reimbursing bank may disregard the reimbursement claim. If the reimbursing bank disregards the reimbursement claim, it must so inform the claiming bank by teletransmission or other expeditious means without delay.
iii. If the predetermined reimbursement date is more than three banking days following the day of receipt of the reimbursement claim, the reimbursing bank has no obligation to provide notice of
non-reimbursement until such predetermined date, or no later than the close of the third banking day following the receipt of the reimbursement claim plus any additional period mentioned in (a)
(i) above, whichever is later.
d. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the reimbursing bank and the claiming bank, a reimbursing bank will effect reimbursement under a reimbursement claim only to the claiming bank.
e. A reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility if it honours a reimbursement claim indicating that a payment, acceptance or negotiation was made under reserve or against an indemnity, and shall disregard such indication.

URR 725 - Article 12

Duplication of a Reimbursement Authorization An issuing bank must not, upon receipt of documents, give a new reimbursement authorization or additional instructions unless they constitute an amendment to, or a cancellation of, an existing reimbursement authorization. If the issuing bank does not comply with the above and a duplicate reimbursement is made, it is the responsibility of the issuing bank to obtain the return of the amount of the duplicate reimbursement. The reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility for any consequences that may arise from any such duplication.

URR 725 - Article 13

Foreign Laws and Usages
The issuing bank shall be bound by and liable to indemnify the reimbursing bank against all obligations and responsibilities imposed by foreign laws and usages.

URR 725 - Article 14

Disclaimer on the Transmission of Messages
A reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility for the consequences arising out of delay, loss in transit, mutilation or other errors arising in the transmission of any messages, delivery of letters or documents, when such messages, letters or documents are transmitted or sent according to the requirements stated in the credit, reimbursement authorization or reimbursement claim, or when the bank may have taken the initiative in the choice of the delivery service in the absence of such instructions in the credit, reimbursement authorization or reimbursement claim. A reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility for errors in translation or interpretation of technical terms.

URR 725 - Article 15

Force Majeure
A reimbursing bank assumes no liability or responsibility for the consequences arising out of the interruption of its business by Acts of God, riots, civil commotions, insurrections, wars, acts of terrorism or by any strikes or lockouts or any other causes beyond its control.

URR 725 - Article 16

Charges
a. A reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the issuing bank.
b. When honouring a reimbursement claim, a reimbursing bank is obligated to follow the instructions regarding any charges contained in the reimbursement authorization.
c. If a reimbursement authorization states that the reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the beneficiary, they shall be deducted from the amount due to a claiming bank when reimbursement is made. When a reimbursing bank follows the instructions of the issuing bank regarding charges (including
commissions, fees, costs or expenses) and these charges are not paid, or a reimbursement claim is never presented to the reimbursing bank under the reimbursement authorization, the issuing bank remains liable for such charges.
d. All charges paid by the reimbursing bank will be in addition to the amount of the authorization, provided that the claiming bank indicates the amount of such charges.
e. If the issuing bank fails to provide the reimbursing bank with instructions regarding charges, all charges shall be for the account of the issuing bank.

URR 725 - Article 17

Interest Claims/Loss of Value

Any claim for loss of interest, loss of value due to any exchange rate fluctuations, revaluations or devaluations are between the claiming bank and the issuing bank, unless such losses result from the non-performance of the reimbursing bank under a reimbursement undertaking.
