3. True and Lies about Swifit MT760
Ever since the irruption of many brokers who claim to be experts on the sector, besides declaring to have contacts with alleged "platforms and/or Traders, we noticed the absolute lack of knowledge there is about banking tools such as the issuance of a SWIFT MT-760. For this reason, and to increase the awareness of the general public, we decided to create this article to explain the actual operative for issuing this type of "Guarantee".
We will analyze what a SWIFT is, on what is based the issuance of a MT-760 as well as the emission operative.
First of all, we would like to punctuate that SWIFT is a Belgian company created in 1973. Currently, SWIFT has advanced by leaps and bounds and nowadays more than eight thousand banks use the system daily as a tool for any comercial activity.
What is a MT-760?
The MT-760 is a kind of SWIFT message known as Guarantee that, as its name suggests, works as a bank guarantee. Therefore, it is important be warned about its danger before malicious individuals.
The investor's Bank issues a SWIFT MT-760 using an asset as base (CASH, BG, CD, MTN, etc). This asset is issued in favor of the recipient (the recipient of the MT-760). This kind of message is commonly used in the Commodities sector or in businesses such as the import or export of any product. The issuing bank uses the asset as a guarantee in favor of the client receiving the MT-760. It is also important to note that this is the classic locking option when it comes to participating in a Private Placement Program.

Prior to the emission of a SWIFT MT-760, the Issuing Bank will emit a SWIFT MT-799 (Free Message). The MT-799 is issued as a Pre-Advice (notifying the receiving bank that a guarantee in the form of MT-760 will be issued). Then, in the next 24/48 hours, the receiving bank emits a SWIFT MT-799 to the Issuing Bank confirming that they are ready to receive the MT-760. In the next 24/48 hours, the client's bank proceeds to the issuance of the SWIFT MT-760, with the acceptance of the receiving bank. Thus, the asset is locked in favor of the recipient for the time specified in the text of the SWIFT message.

If a MT-760 is issued, can it be revoked?
Absolutely NO. Many unscrupulous brokers and alleged platforms want the investor to believe that the MT-760 can be withdrawn without inconveniences when the investor orders it. The reality is quite different.
When a SWIFT is issued and accepted by the receiving bank it is totally IRREVOCABLE. It can only be revoked if the recipient of the MT-760 gives consent to his/her bank to proceed with the withdrawal.
What assurance is there regarding a MT-760?
When a client issues a SWIFT MT-760 for a period of (for example) 10 months, in addition to being irrevocable, this involves serious risks since the so-called platforms or intermediaries who claim to have contact with a trader can interact with the asset and this lead to its loss. And these are terrible consequences for the client.
We advise the client to make sure that the person he/she will be working with is a real Trader. Once the Trading agreement is in front of the client, they should ensure that they are dealing with the right person/company.

Upon the issuance and receipt of the MT-760, it will be the same trader the one in charge of "monetizing" such SWIFT, and with the amount of credit obtained, the program will be accessed. It is important to point out that, being the Traders company the recipient of the SWIFT and the one in charge of obtaining the credit line, it will also be the one responsible for its refund and for confronting all incurred expenses.
