Negotiating bank:在国际贸易结算中,议付行是指在信用证(Letter of Credit, L/C)项下,审核受益人提交的单据并在符合条款时买入/垫付票据或单据款项(即“议付”)的银行。常见于跟单信用证业务中。(不同于开证行 issuing bank;有时也可能与通知行 advising bank 为同一家银行。)
/nɪˈɡoʊʃiˌeɪtɪŋ bæŋk/
The negotiating bank checked the documents and paid the exporter.
议付行审核单据后向出口商付款。
Under the letter of credit, the negotiating bank may advance funds to the beneficiary before being reimbursed by the issuing bank.
在该信用证项下,议付行可能在开证行偿付前先行向受益人垫付资金。
negotiate 源自拉丁语 negotiari(“经商、做生意、办理事务”),在金融语境中引申为“议付/贴现/买入票据”。negotiating bank 由此固定为信用证业务中的术语,指“办理议付的银行”。
