You are being far too vague here. I assume you have a case in mind.
A bank declining its nomination is not obligated to explain itself noting of course that if a bank has already either confirmed that credit or otherwise expressly committed itself to act outside of confirmation as recognised within sub-article 12a, then it could not decline its nomination

The reasons why the nominated bank declines its nomination may vary:

(i) its policy preventing it from acting on its nomination;
