    E To handle the shipment of goods from the seller to the buyer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The advising bank does not provide payment or credit guarantees but acts as a liaison, notifying the seller of the letter of credit issued by the buyer's bank. It confirms the authenticity of the credit but does not engage in the actual payment process.
