1. Use of a Correspondent
State Bank of India Sydney (SBIS) may use the services of another bank ('the Correspondent Bank') or agency ('the Correspondent Agency') or another branch of State Bank of India (SBI) to give effect to the instructions of the Applicant. A Correspondent bank or Correspondent Agency or a SBI branch overseas may charge additional fees or charges and either: a. deduct those fees or charges from the funds transferred to the beneficiary by the Applicant, so that the beneficiary may receive less than the amount sent by the Applicant; or b. pay the funds transferred by the Applicant to the beneficiary by debit to SBIS account held at the Correspondent Bank or Correspondent Agency or SBI branch, with those fees and charges. The Applicant must then reimburse SBIS for those fees and charges debited to SBIS account by the Correspondent Bank or Correspondent Agency or SBI branch.
