FEE SCHEDULE for transactions performed by Belarusbank (effective as of 05.01.2026)
5.2. DOCUMENTARY OPERATIONS
When issuing a letter of credit with tolerance (permissible variation) in relation to the amount of the letter of credit, a fee is charged from the amount of the letter of credit with a per cent upward tolerance. If the letter of credit is issued for an "approximate" amount, the fee is charged from the amount increased by 10 %.
If a letter of credit is canceled, a paid fee is not refundable.
If a fee is to be paid by the beneficiary under the import letter of credit, by the applicant under the export letter of credit, by the principal under the received bank guarantee and is not paid by the latter at the time of execution/expiry without execution of the letter of credit/bank guarantee, the amount of the calculated fee pursuant to paragraph 4.4 of this Fee Schedule is payable by the customer.
A fee for services can be charged to the correspondent bank in a currency other than the currency in which the transaction is performed, at the cross-rate of the National Bank on the day of the fee charged and is paid by the correspondent bank in the currency of the invoice not later than the day of payment under the letter of credit/guarantee/counter-guarantee/collection or not later than the 10th day from the expiry date of the letter of credit/guarantee.
The current fee’s amount for transactions that use the SWIFT system applies to transactions that use the Telex system and other alternative systems for transmitting financial information.
