MT 752 Explained: Authorization to Pay, Accept or Negotiate

MT 752 is the issuing bank's response authorizing the nominated bank to go ahead and pay, accept, or negotiate documents that were flagged as discrepant in an MT 750 — typically sent once the applicant has agreed to waive the discrepancies and take the documents anyway.

Key fields

• 20 — Sender's Reference: Reference for this authorization.
• 21 — Related Reference: The MT 750 discrepancy advice this is responding to.
• 32a — Amount Authorized: How much the nominated bank is now cleared to pay.
• 72 — Sender to Receiver Information: Any conditions attached to the authorization, or further instructions.

This authorization only covers the specific discrepancies raised — it doesn't reopen or waive anything about the credit's other terms, and the underlying LC continues exactly as issued for any future presentation.
