| Cover missing or mismatched | Cassia holds a pacs.008 announcing USD 1,250,000.00 — but no matching cover has arrived on its nostro. | Debited from the customer on day one; the creditor was credited only after the cover was repaired. · The cover settled late; the direct pacs.008 was never money, only information. | Bank Alfa — Bank Alfa reviews why the rejected cover sat unnoticed in the repair queue. |
