Field Description Counter Party Maintain settlement instructions for all the customers or for specific customers only. From the option list select the specific customer number or choose the ALL option. Counterparty Type The Counterparty Type can either be CIF or BIC depending on whether your bank has an accounting relationship with the party for whom the instruction is being maintained or whether it only has a SWIFT messaging relationship. If the counterparty is a CIF in Oracle Banking Trade Finance, you will have to select CIF as the party type and choose the relevant CIF ID in the adjacent field. However, if the entity is not an actual customer of your bank but you would be sending/receiving payment messages to/from that party, you will have to choose BIC as the counterparty type and specify the counterparty address as well. As a result, you will need to identify the preferred Nostro/ Vostro accounts for that currency and BIC code combination.Note:
