5. The Digitisation of Trade – Bank Payment Obligation An irrevocable undertaking given by one bank to another bank that payment will be made on a specified date after a specified event has taken place. A ‘match’ report is generated by SWIFT’s Trade Services Utility (TSU) or any equivalent transaction matching application. BPOs enable banks to mitigate the risks associated with international trade to the benefit of both buyers and sellers. They enable flexible financing propositions across the supply chain, from pre-shipment to post-shipment. They provide an assurance of payment to the seller similar to that obtained under a confirmed letter of credit.
