Pre Advice Messages
A Pre-Advice Message is a preliminary notification sent by a bank to inform the beneficiary or their bank about an upcoming financial instrument, such as a Letter of Credit (LC), Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC), or Bank Guarantee (BG). This message acts as an early confirmation that the instrument will be issued, allowing the beneficiary to prepare for the transaction in advance.
