Transaction Procedure — Leasing

The ten-step leasing execution procedure accepted by both parties.

  1. Lessee sends the Provider this DOA with all documents for due diligence and compliance (fully filled out with all required bank data, including a copy of the credit line agreement signed by two bank officers, signed and sealed). Within 3–5 banking days the Provider confirms compliance and due diligence and returns the confirmed contract.
  2. Within five (5) banking days, the Receiving Bank issues an RWA via bank e-mail or SWIFT MT199/799 (Exhibit A) to the designated bank of the Provider, and sends a courtesy copy to the Provider within 2 banking days. Once received and verified by direct banking e-mail by the Provider's compliance bank, this DOA automatically becomes a full recourse commercial contract.
  3. Within five (5) banking days, the Issuing Bank of the Provider issues an MT-799 Pre-Advice (Exhibit B) confirming that they are ready, willing and able to issue as per the format set out in Exhibit D. The Provider sends a copy of the MT-799 Pre-Advice to the Beneficiary / Lessee within 24 banking hours.
  4. Within five (5) banking days of receipt of the Provider's MT-799 Pre-Advice, the Receiving Bank sends by SWIFT MT-799 the BPU (Exhibit C) confirming receipt and ability to pay the total amount up to 12% (10% + 2%) of the total face value of the instrument, which includes all consultancy fees.
  5. Within five (5) banking days of the Provider receiving the BPU from the Receiving Bank, the Issuing Bank issues SWIFT MT-760 (Exhibit D), and the Provider simultaneously issues its corporate invoice for the same.
  6. The Receiving Bank receives, confirms and verifies the SWIFT MT-760 SBLC. The Receiver, within ten (10) banking days of MT760 reception, remits payment to the Provider's designated account(s) — the assignment fees — and the consultancy fees to the Intermediaries' designated account(s).
  7. Should the Beneficiary / Lessee default in paying the lease fees and transaction fees stipulated in this DOA within the stipulated time after receipt of SWIFT MT-760, the Provider shall instruct the Issuing Bank to put a claim on the SBLC, thereby forcing the Receiving Bank to return the SWIFT MT-760 SBLC to the Issuing Bank.
  8. Within ten (10) banking days after receipt of all fees including the consultancy fees, the hard copy of the SBLC is sent to the Receiving Bank by bank-bonded courier.
  9. Upon successful completion of the first tranche, as mutually agreed by both parties, beginning with the procedure for the next tranches, the Provider will issue SWIFT MT760 in favour of the Beneficiary according to this DOA.
  10. This DOA is a full recourse commercial commitment governed by the law of the United Kingdom and standards under ICC regulation.
