Settlements by payment orders.
A payment order is an order from the account owner (payer) to the bank servicing him, documented as a settlement document, to transfer a certain amount of money to the recipient's account opened in this or another bank. Payment orders can be made:
a) transfer of funds for goods supplied, work performed, services rendered;
b) transfers of funds to budgets of all levels and to extra-budgetary funds;
c) transfer of funds for the purpose of returning / placing credits (loans) / deposits and paying interest on them;
d) transfer of funds for other purposes provided for by law or agreement.
Payment orders are accepted by the bank regardless of the availability of funds in the payer's account. If there are no or insufficient funds in the payer's account, payment orders are placed in a file cabinet in off-balance sheet account N 90902 "Settlement documents not paid on time." In this case, on the front side in the upper right corner of all copies of the payment order, a mark in any form is placed on the placement in the card index indicating the date. Payment of payment orders is made as funds are received in the order established by law.
Settlements under letters of credit.
A letter of credit is a monetary obligation of a bank issued on the basis of an order from its client in favor of a client of another bank. When making payments under a letter of credit, the bank acting on behalf of the payer to open a letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as the issuing bank) undertakes to make payments in favor of the recipient of funds upon presentation by the latter of documents that comply with all the conditions of the letter of credit, or to authorize another bank (hereinafter referred to as the executing bank) to make such payments. The executing bank may be the issuing bank, the recipient bank, or another bank. The letter of credit is separate and independent from the main agreement between the counterparties.
Banks can open the following types of letters of credit: covered (deposited) and uncovered (guaranteed); revocable and irrevocable (can be confirmed).
When opening a covered (deposited) letter of credit, the issuing bank transfers, at the expense of the payer's funds or the loan provided to him, the amount of the letter of credit (coverage) at the disposal of the executing bank for the entire validity period of the letter of credit.
When opening an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit, the issuing bank grants the executing bank the right to write off funds from the correspondent account of the issuing bank maintained by it within the amount of the letter of credit or indicates in the letter of credit another method of reimbursing the executing bank for the amounts paid under the letter of credit in accordance with its terms. The procedure for writing off funds from the correspondent account of the issuing bank under an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit, as well as the procedure for reimbursement of funds under an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit by the issuing bank to the executing bank is determined by an agreement between the banks. The procedure for reimbursement of funds under an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit by the payer to the issuing bank is determined in the agreement between the payer and the issuing bank.
In the event of a change in the conditions or cancellation of a revocable letter of credit, the issuing bank is obliged to send a corresponding notice to the recipient of funds no later than the business day following the day the conditions were changed or the letter of credit was cancelled.
The terms of an irrevocable letter of credit are considered changed or an irrevocable letter of credit is considered canceled from the moment the executing bank receives the consent of the recipient of the funds. Partial acceptance of changes to the terms of an irrevocable letter of credit by the recipient of funds is not permitted.
At the request of the issuing bank, an irrevocable letter of credit can be confirmed by the executing bank with the assumption of an obligation, additional to the obligation of the issuing bank, to make payment to the recipient of funds upon presentation of documents that comply with the terms of the letter of credit (confirmed letter of credit). The terms of a confirmed letter of credit are considered changed or the letter of credit is considered canceled from the moment the issuing bank receives the consent of the executing bank that confirmed the letter of credit and the recipient of the funds.
The issuing bank informs the recipient of funds about the opening of a letter of credit and its conditions through the executing bank or through the recipient's bank with the consent of the latter. Payment under a letter of credit is made by bank transfer.
When making payments under a letter of credit, the payer submits to the issuing bank two copies of an application for opening a letter of credit, in which he instructs the issuing bank to open a letter of credit. The issuing bank develops the application form for opening a letter of credit independently. The application for opening a letter of credit shall indicate information corresponding to the details of the payment documents that were discussed above as provided in paragraph 2.10 of this part of the Regulations, as well as the following information: name of the issuing bank; name of the recipient's bank; name of the executing bank; type of letter of credit (revocable or irrevocable); payment terms of the letter of credit; list and characteristics of documents submitted by the recipient of funds, and requirements for the execution of these documents; closing date of the letter of credit, period for submitting documents; name of goods (works, services), for payment for which a letter of credit is opened, term of shipment of goods (performance of work, provision of services), consignor, consignee, destination of the cargo.
Based on the application for opening a letter of credit, the issuing bank draws up a letter of credit on the prescribed form. If there is a large list of documents to be specified in the letter of credit, an annex to the letter of credit can be drawn up in any form, which is referred to in the letter of credit and which is an integral part of the letter of credit.
To make payments under a covered (deposited) letter of credit, the letter of credit indicates the number of the account opened by the executing bank to make payments under the letter of credit. The specified account is opened at the request of the issuing bank, drawn up in any form on the basis of an application for opening a letter of credit. The number of the specified account is brought to the attention of the issuing bank by the executing bank, and by the issuing bank to the attention of the payer.
In case of changes in the conditions or cancellation of the letter of credit, the payer submits a corresponding order to the issuing bank. In accordance with this order, the issuing bank sends a message to the executing bank about changing the conditions or canceling the letter of credit. The specified order of the payer, a message from the issuing bank about changing the conditions or canceling the letter of credit can be sent in the form of a document on paper, drawn up in any form and executed with the signatures of persons authorized to sign settlement documents and a seal, or in the form of a document in electronic form in in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the payer and the issuing bank (for the specified order of the payer) or the agreement between the issuing bank and the executing bank (for notification of the issuing bank about changing the conditions or canceling the letter of credit to the executing bank).
The recipient of funds may be notified of changes in the terms or cancellation of the letter of credit by the issuing bank through the nominated bank or through the bank of the recipient of funds.
The transfer of funds to the executing bank in order to increase the amount of the covered (deposited) letter of credit is carried out by a payment order of the issuing bank, drawn up on the basis of the payer’s order to increase the amount of the letter of credit. The procedure for increasing the amount of an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit is determined by agreement between the issuing bank and the executing bank.
Upon receipt of documents under a letter of credit from the executing bank, the issuing bank checks the compliance of the submitted documents and their details with the terms of the letter of credit on the basis of the documents themselves (hereinafter referred to as verification by external signs). The period for checking documents should not exceed seven business days following the day of receipt of documents, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the issuing bank and the executing bank.
If it is established that documents do not conform by external features to the terms of the letter of credit, the issuing bank has the right to refuse to accept them or to first request the payer about the possibility of accepting these documents. If the issuing bank refuses to accept the specified documents, it is obliged to notify the bank from which the documents were received or the recipient of the funds, indicating in the notification the discrepancies that are the reason for the refusal.
If a discrepancy is established by external signs between the documents accepted by the executing bank from the recipient of funds and the terms of the letter of credit, the issuing bank has the right to demand from the executing bank the return of amounts paid to the recipient of funds at the expense of the coverage transferred to the executing bank (under a covered (deposited) letter of credit), restoration of amounts written off from a correspondent account opened with the nominated bank, or refuse to reimburse the nominated bank for amounts paid to the recipient of funds (under an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit).
The issuing bank is obliged, no later than the business day following the day of return of the amount of the unused balance or the amount of the reduced or canceled covered (deposited) letter of credit, to credit the corresponding amount to the payer’s account from which the funds were debited to cover the letter of credit.
The executing bank immediately notifies the recipient of the funds about the receipt of the letter of credit in a manner agreed upon with it, followed by written confirmation in any form no later than the business day following the day of receipt of the letter of credit from the issuing bank. If the executing bank is not the bank serving the recipient of the funds, the executing bank has the right to inform the recipient of the funds about the receipt of the letter of credit through the recipient's bank.
To receive funds under a letter of credit, the recipient of funds submits to the executing bank four copies of the register of accounts in the established form and the documents provided for by the terms of the letter of credit. The executing bank is obliged to check the external appearance of the documents for compliance with the terms of the letter of credit, as well as the correctness of the register of accounts. The period for checking documents should not exceed seven business days following the day of receipt of documents, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the issuing bank and the executing bank.
When it is established that the specified documents comply with the terms of the letter of credit and the correctness of the register of accounts, the executing bank makes payment under the letter of credit. When executing a revocable letter of credit, the executing bank makes payment in full if, by the time the documents are submitted, it has not received an order from the issuing bank to cancel the letter of credit, in part of the amount of the letter of credit - upon receipt of an order from the issuing bank to reduce the amount of the letter of credit.
If it is established that the specified documents do not conform on external grounds to the terms of the letter of credit, the executing bank has the right to refuse to accept them, immediately notifying the recipient of the funds and the issuing bank and pointing out the discrepancies that are the reason for the refusal. The recipient of funds has the right to re-submit the documents required by the letter of credit before its expiration.
When making a payment under a letter of credit, the amount specified in the register of accounts is credited (transferred) to the account of the recipient of funds by a payment order from the executing bank. The first copy of the payment order, together with the first copy of the register of accounts, is placed in the bank's day-to-day documents as a basis for writing off funds from the account intended for accounting for amounts under a covered (deposited) letter of credit, or as a basis for writing off funds from the correspondent account of the issuing bank opened in the executing bank, under an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit.
The executing bank sends to the issuing bank a second copy of the register of accounts with the documents required by the terms of the letter of credit attached, as well as a third copy of the register of accounts for use by the issuing bank and for delivery to the payer.
The letter of credit is closed at the executing bank: upon expiration of the letter of credit (in the amount of the letter of credit or its balance); if the recipient of funds refuses to use the letter of credit (in full or in part) before its expiration, if this is permitted by the terms of the letter of credit, by sending an application to close the letter of credit to the executing bank. The terms of the letter of credit may provide for obtaining the consent of the payer and (or) the issuing bank to refuse to use the letter of credit by the recipient of funds. Refusal to use a confirmed letter of credit is possible with the consent of the confirming bank; when a letter of credit is revoked (in full or in part) by the issuing bank, including at the request of the payer or after receiving the consent of the recipient of funds under an irrevocable letter of credit.
When a covered (deposited) letter of credit is revoked in part of the amount of the letter of credit, the accountant of the executing bank puts the mark “Partial revocation” on the front side of the letter of credit, the amount indicated in numbers is circled and a new amount is entered. On the reverse side of the covered (deposited) letter of credit, a record is made of the amount of the refunded amount and the date of return, which is certified by the signature of the accountant indicating the surname, as well as the stamp of the bank.
The refund of the amount to the issuing bank under a covered (deposited) letter of credit is carried out by the executing bank by payment order simultaneously with the closure of the letter of credit upon expiration of the letter of credit or on the day of presentation of the document serving as the basis for closing the letter of credit.
The procedure for revoking an uncovered (guaranteed) letter of credit is established by an agreement between the issuing bank and the executing bank.
About the closure of the letter of credit, the executing bank must send a notification to the issuing bank, drawn up in any form and issued with the stamp of the bank, the date of preparation and the signature of the accountant.

To carry out collection settlements, the issuing bank has the right to attract another bank (hereinafter referred to as the executing bank).
Payments for collection are carried out on the basis of payment requests, payment of which can be made by order of the payer (with acceptance) or without his order (in an unaccepted manner), and collection orders, payment of which is made without the order of the payer (in an indisputable manner). Payment requests and collection orders are submitted by the recipient of funds (collector) to the payer's account through the bank serving the recipient of funds (collector).
When accepting payment requests and collection orders for collection, the executive officer of the issuing bank checks the compliance of the payment document with the established form of the form, the completeness of filling in all the details provided for in the form, the compliance of the signatures and seal of the recipient of funds (collector) with the samples specified in the card with sample signatures and seal impressions , as well as the identity of all copies of settlement documents.

Unaccepted documents are deleted from the register of settlement documents submitted for collection and returned to the recipient of funds (collector), the number and amount of settlement documents in the register are corrected. Both copies of the register and corrections in them are certified by the signature of the responsible executive of the issuing bank.
The last copies of settlement documents, together with the second copy of the register, are returned to the recipient of funds (collector) as confirmation of receipt of documents for collection.
The first copies of the registers remain in the issuing bank, are filed in a separate folder, are used as a journal of registration of settlement documents accepted for collection and are stored in the issuing bank in accordance with the established retention periods for documents.
The issuing bank that has accepted payment documents for collection undertakes the obligation to deliver them to their intended destination.
If there are no or insufficient funds in the payer's account and if there is no provision in the bank account agreement for payment of settlement documents in excess of the funds available in the account, payment requests accepted by the payer, payment requests for direct debit of funds and collection orders (with attached in cases established by law executive documents) are placed in a file cabinet under off-balance sheet account N 90902 “Settlement documents not paid on time” indicating the date of placement in the file cabinet.
The executing bank is obliged to notify the issuing bank about the placement of settlement documents in the file cabinet for off-balance sheet account N 90902 “Settlement documents not paid on time” by sending a notice of filing in the file cabinet. The specified notice is sent by the executing bank to the issuing bank no later than the business day following the day the settlement documents are placed in the file cabinet. In this case, on the reverse side of the first copy of the payment document, a mark is made on the date of sending the notice, a bank stamp and the signature of the responsible executor are affixed.
The issuing bank delivers a notice of filing to the client upon receipt of a notice from the executing bank.
Payment of settlement documents is made as funds are received into the payer's account in the order established by law.
Calculations of payment requirements.
The payment request is a settlement document,
containing the requirement of the creditor (recipient of funds) under the main agreement to the debtor (payer) to pay a certain amount of money through the bank.
Payment requirements are applied in settlements for goods supplied, work performed, services rendered, as well as in other cases provided for by the main agreement. Settlements through payment requests can be carried out with prior acceptance and without the payer’s acceptance. Without the payer's acceptance, settlements with payment requests are carried out in the following cases:
established by law;
provided for by the parties to the main agreement, subject to the provision of the bank servicing the payer with the right to write off funds from the payer’s account without his order.
The payment request is drawn up on the prescribed form. In addition to the mandatory details discussed above, the payment request shall indicate:
a) payment terms;
b) deadline for acceptance;
c) the date of sending (handing over) to the payer the documents provided for in the contract if these documents were sent (handing over) to the payer;
d) name of the goods (work performed, services rendered), number and date of the contract, numbers of documents confirming the delivery of goods (performance of work, provision of services), date of delivery of the goods (performance of work, provision of services), method of delivery of goods and other details.
Payment requests can be paid with or without the payer’s acceptance. In a payment request paid with the payer’s acceptance, the recipient of the funds makes an entry “with acceptance” in the request form. The period for accepting payment requests is determined by the parties to the main agreement. In this case, the period for acceptance must be at least five working days.
The last copy of the payment request is transferred to the payer for acceptance no later than the next business day from the date of receipt of the payment request by the bank. The transfer of payment requests to the payer is carried out by the executing bank in the manner prescribed by the bank account agreement. Payment requests are placed by the executing bank in the file cabinet of settlement documents awaiting acceptance for payment until the payer's acceptance is received, the acceptance is refused (full or partial), or the acceptance period expires.
The payer, within the period established for acceptance, submits to the bank the corresponding document on the acceptance of the payment request or refusal in whole or in part from its acceptance on the grounds provided for in the main agreement, including in the event of a discrepancy between the applied payment form and the concluded agreement, with a mandatory reference to clause, number, date of the contract and indicating the reasons for refusal.
The payer may grant the executing bank in the bank account agreement the right to pay payment claims submitted to his account by any creditors (recipients of funds) specified by the payer, if the payer does not receive a document on acceptance or refusal to accept (full or partial) the payment claim within the period specified established for acceptance.
Acceptance of a payment request or refusal to accept (full or partial) is formalized by an application for acceptance or refusal of acceptance in the prescribed form.
When accepting payment requests, the application is drawn up in two copies, the first of which is drawn up with the signatures of officials who have the right to sign settlement documents and the payer's seal.
In case of complete or partial refusal of acceptance, the application is drawn up in triplicate. The first and second copies of the application are drawn up with the signatures of officials who have the right to sign settlement documents and the payer’s seal.
The responsible executive of the bank servicing the payer's account checks the correctness and completeness of the client's application for acceptance, refusal of acceptance, the presence of grounds for refusal, references to the number, date, clause of the contract in which this basis is provided, as well as the correspondence of the number and date of the contract, specified in the payment request, and affixes his signature and the bank’s stamp indicating the date on all copies of the application. The last copy of the application for acceptance or refusal of acceptance is returned to the payer as a receipt for receipt of the application.
An accepted payment request, no later than the business day following the day the application was received, is written off by a memorial order from the off-balance sheet account for recording the amounts of settlement documents awaiting acceptance for payment, and is paid from the payer’s account. A copy of the application, together with the first copy of the payment request, is placed in the documents of the day as a basis for debiting funds from the client’s account.
If acceptance is completely refused, the payment request is written off by a memorial order from the off-balance sheet account for the amounts of settlement documents awaiting acceptance for payment, and no later than the business day following the day the application was received, it must be returned to the issuing bank along with a copy of the application for return to the recipient of the funds.
A copy of the application, together with a copy of the payment request and a memorial order, is placed in the documents of the day as a basis for writing off the amount of the payment request from the off-balance sheet account for recording the amounts of settlement documents awaiting acceptance for payment, and returning the settlement document without payment.
In case of partial refusal of acceptance, the payment request, no later than the business day following the day of acceptance of the application, is written off in full by a memorial order from the off-balance sheet account for recording the amounts of settlement documents awaiting acceptance for payment, and is paid in the amount accepted by the payer. In this case, the amount of the payment request, indicated by numbers, is circled and the new amount to be paid is displayed next to it. The entry made is certified by the signature of the responsible executive of the bank.
One copy of the application, together with the first copy of the payment request, is placed in the documents of the day as a basis for debiting funds from the client’s account, another copy of the application, no later than the business day following the day the application is received, is sent to the issuing bank for transfer to the recipient of the funds.
In a payment request for the direct debiting of funds from payers’ accounts on the basis of legislation or an agreement, in the “Terms of payment” field, the recipient of the funds enters “without acceptance”, and also makes a reference to the law (indicating its number, date of adoption and the corresponding article), on on the basis of which the collection is carried out or the date, number of the main agreement and its corresponding clause providing for the right of direct write-off.
Direct debiting of funds from an account in cases provided for in the main agreement is carried out by the bank if there is a condition in the bank account agreement on direct debiting of funds or on the basis of an additional agreement to the bank account agreement containing the corresponding condition. The payer is obliged to provide the servicing bank with information about the creditor (recipient of funds), who has the right to submit payment requests for debiting funds without acceptance, the name of the goods, works or services for which payments will be made, as well as about the main agreement (date, number and the corresponding clause providing for the right of direct debit).
The absence of a condition on direct debiting of funds in a bank account agreement or an additional agreement to a bank account agreement, as well as the absence of information about the creditor (recipient of funds) and other above information is grounds for the bank to refuse to pay a payment request without acceptance. This payment request is paid in accordance with the preliminary acceptance procedure with a period for acceptance of five working days.
When accepting payment requests for direct debiting of funds, the executive officer of the executing bank is obliged to check the presence of a reference to the legislative act (main agreement) giving the recipient the right to the specified settlement procedure, its date, number, corresponding clause, and also, in established cases, the presence readings of measuring instruments and current tariffs or records of calculations based on measuring instruments and current tariffs.
In the absence of an indication “without acceptance”, payment requests are subject to payment by the payer in the order of preliminary acceptance with a period for acceptance of five working days. Banks do not consider the merits of payers' objections to debiting funds from their accounts without acceptance.
Payments by collection orders.
A collection order is a settlement document on the basis of which funds are written off from payers' accounts in an indisputable manner.
Collection orders are applied:
in cases where an indisputable procedure for the collection of funds is established by law, including for the collection of funds by bodies performing control functions;
for collection under enforcement documents;
in cases provided for by the parties to the main agreement, subject to the provision of the bank servicing the payer with the right to write off funds from the payer’s account without his order.
The collection order is drawn up on the prescribed form. When collecting funds from accounts in an indisputable manner in cases established by law, a reference to the law must be made in the collection order in the “Purpose of payment” field (indicating its number, date of adoption and the corresponding article). When collecting funds on the basis of enforcement documents, the collection order must contain a reference to the date of issue of the enforcement document, its number, the number of the case on which the decision subject to enforcement was made, as well as the name of the body that made such a decision. If the enforcement fee is collected by a bailiff, the collection order must contain an indication of the collection of the enforcement fee, as well as a reference to the date and number of the enforcement document of the bailiff.
Collection orders for the collection of funds from accounts issued on the basis of writs of execution are accepted by the recovering bank with the attachment of the original of the writ of execution or its duplicate.
Banks servicing debtors (executing banks) execute received collection orders with attached writs of execution or, in the absence or insufficiency of funds in the debtor’s account to satisfy the demands of the creditor, make a note on the writ of execution about the complete or partial failure to fulfill the requirements specified in it in connection with the lack of funds in the debtor’s account and place the collection order with the attached writ of execution in the file cabinet in off-balance sheet account No. 90902 “Settlement documents not paid on time.” Collection orders are executed as funds are received in the order established by law.
The undisputed procedure for writing off funds is applied for obligations in accordance with the terms of the main agreement, except for cases established by the Bank of Russia.
Write-off of funds in an indisputable manner in the cases provided for by the main agreement is carried out by the bank if there is a condition in the bank account agreement on the write-off of funds in an indisputable manner or on the basis of an additional agreement to the bank account agreement containing the corresponding condition. The payer is obliged to provide the servicing bank with information about the creditor (recipient of funds) who has the right to issue collection orders to write off funds in an indisputable manner, the obligation under which payments will be made, as well as about the main agreement (date, number and the corresponding clause providing for the right undisputed write-off).
The absence of a condition on writing off funds in an indisputable manner in the bank account agreement or an additional agreement to the bank account agreement, as well as the absence of information about the creditor (recipient of funds) and other above information is grounds for the bank to refuse to pay the collection order.
The collection order must contain a reference to the date, number of the main agreement and its corresponding clause providing for the right of undisputed write-off.
Banks do not consider the merits of payers’ objections to the debiting of funds from their accounts in an indisputable manner.
Banks suspend the write-off of funds indisputably in the following cases:
by decision of the body exercising control functions in accordance with the law to suspend collection;
if there is a judicial act on suspension of collection;
on other grounds provided by law.
The document submitted to the bank indicates the details of the collection order, the collection of which must be suspended.
When the write-off of funds under a collection order is resumed, its execution is carried out while maintaining the priority group specified in it and the calendar order of receipt of the document within the group.
The writ of execution, the collection of funds for which was not carried out (except for cases of termination of enforcement proceedings) or was carried out partially, is returned together with the collection order by the executing bank to the issuing bank for delivery to the recoverer personally against receipt of receipt or by registered mail with notification. In this case, the executing bank makes a note on the writ of execution on the date of return of the writ of execution indicating the amount collected if there was a partial payment for the document.
The writ of execution, the collection of funds for which has been made or terminated in accordance with the law, is returned by the executing bank by registered mail with notification to the court or other body that issued the writ of execution. In this case, the executing bank makes a note on the writ of execution indicating the date of its execution indicating the amount collected or the date of return indicating the basis for termination of collection (number and date of the claimant’s application, court ruling (arbitration court) or other document) and the amount recovered if there was a partial payment for the document.
