Would you kindly explain to me in which cases the above codes are used? Thank you in advance. Best regards, LNAT ————– ANSWER Hi, Those codes are used in Field 77B of MT 734 to inform the presenter of the disposal of documents. /HOLD/ Documents held at your disposal /NOTIFY/ Documents held until the issuing bank receives a waiver from the applicant and agrees to accept it, or receives further instructions from the presenter prior to agreeing to accept a waiver. /PREVINST/ Acting in accordance with instructions previously received from the presenter. /RETURN/ Documents being returned to you. Note: Any code must be used between slashes and appear at the beginning of a line, e.g., 77B: /HOLD/ Hope it helps. Kind regards, Mr. Old Man P/s: For questions regarding the use of SWIFT messages, you can google answers.
