  2. Select the borrower from the option list provided. The Borrower Name, SSI Counterparty, Counterparty Name, and Entity Name are displayed when you select the borrower.

The details to be captured for a borrower of the facility contract are discussed below:
  • Specifying Currency Mnemonic Detail

    The list of allowable currencies maintained through the Currency details screen are displayed in the Currency column for each borrower. Here, you are not allowed to add a currency to the list. However, you may specify an SSI (Standard Settlement Instructions) Mnemonic for each of the allowable currency. The SSI selected for the facility contract becomes applicable to the tranches and drawdowns processed under it.

  • SSI Mnemonic
    SSI Mnemonics are maintained in the ‘Settlement Instructions’ screen for a Counterparty, Module, Currency, Product and Branch combination. The same is available for the counterparty/borrower of the facility contract. The option list provided display the following details:
    • SSI Mnemonic
    • Currency (only SSI applicable for the contract currency/ALL are displayed)
    • Counterparty ID and Name
    • Debit Account Branch, Currency, and Account
    • Credit Account Branch, Currency, and Account
    • Sequence Number
    The Mnemonics selected here obtains the settlement details for the borrower of the contract.

    Note:

    If you do not associate a Mnemonic with the currencies, the system defaults the SSI Mnemonic for the counterparty and contract currency when you exit the Borrower Details screen. The settlement instructions maintained for the counterparty becomes applicable for all the borrowers of the contract.
    To return to the Borrower Details section of the screen, you have to click Up Arrow button.
