When the documents are considered compliant by the nominated/confirming bank/transferring Bank, the Bank  will then present a reimbursement claim to the reimbursing bank to obtain Payment. The Reimbursing banks have a reasonable time, normally not to exceed three banking days following the day of receipt of the reimbursement claim, to process such claims.
