We shall promptly notify you if the remittance could not be effected.


Your express transfer may involve one or more heads of fees, for instance the enquiry and handling charges of the remitting bank, and fees of the beneficiary bank. The actual costs tariff will depend on the circumstances. You may elect to have such charges and fees paid by the recipient party.


You shall be responsible for the accuracy of the instruction (including the name and account of the beneficiary and the receiving bank etc.) and liable for all the risks and liabilities arising from any circumstances which are beyond the control of the bank.
