When trading, there are several documents and forms required by both parties. One of the more commonly requested, but the lesser understood document is the MT799. Many suppliers will request that the buyer issue an MT799 before they provide proof of product, or proceed beyond the initial stages of the deal.

MT799 Insight
MT799 is a free format SWIFT message type in which a banking institution confirms that funds are in place to cover a potential trade. This can, on occasion, be used as an irrevocable undertaking, depending on the language used in the MT799, but is not a promise to pay or any form of bank guarantee in its standard format. The function of the MT799 is simply to assure the seller that the buyer does have the necessary funds to complete the trade.
In some cases MT799 is usually issued before or after a contract is signed, and before a letter of credit or bank guarantee is issued. After the MT799 has been received by the seller’s bank, it is then normally the responsibility of the seller’s bank to send a proof of product (POP) to the buyer’s bank, at which point the trade continues towards commencement.
The actual payment method commonly used is a documentary letter of credit, which the seller presents to the issuing or confirming bank along with shipping documents. Once the bank confirms the documents, the seller is then paid. An alternative method is to use a bank guarantee in place of a letter of credit. It is normally at the seller’s discretion which method of payment is used.
