A Swift MT760 (MT means Message Type) is a bank-responsible guarantee as well as Blocked Fund Letter issue communicated bank to bank by the sender bank. MT 760 sent upon instructions of its client (applicant) in favor of a particular transactions or counter party (beneficiary). In the case of Blocked Fund your issuing bank will submit a bank to bank message stating that they have blocked funds for a particular time frame specifically for the beneficiary of a receiving bank. Those funds are now an asset of the Beneficiary bank account.
