Nostro Account:
The term ‘NOSTRO’ has emerged from the Italian word ‘Nostro’ which meaning is ‘OUR’.
“NOSTRO ACCOUNT can be defined as a bank account open by any commercial bank of a country in any bank of a foreign country with a denomination of foreign currency.”
In other words, NOSTRO ACCOUNT is an account maintained in a foreign country’s bank in the denomination of that foreign country by any country’s banks to settle the foreign exchange transactions between both countries.
The interest rate is not paid to NOSTRO ACCOUNT, however, in case of insufficient balance or overdrawn amount, some fee is chargeable to these accounts.
Nostro Accounts are typically utilised to facilitates foreign trade and foreign exchange transactions.
Example:
Now consider an example to understand it more clearly.
Suppose, HDFC Bank (India based bank) operates a bank account in the City Bank (USA based bank) with the $ (Dollar) denomination, therefore it would be a Nostro Account for HDFC Bank.
Thus it is said that HDFC Bank has a $ denominated Nostro Account in City Bank of USA.
Vostro Account:
“Vostro Account refers to an account held by a foreign-based bank in the domestic currency with the domestic bank of the country”
The term ‘Vostro’ is also an Italian word which means is ‘Yours’.
It is just like the inverse of Nostro accounts. Let us understand with an example.
Example:
Suppose City Bank (USA based bank) opens an account in HDFC BANK (India based bank) with the Currency INR (Indian Rupee), then this type of accounts is called Vostro Account.
Conclusion:
Thus single conclusion can be drawn from the above definitions of both Nostro and Vostro accounts.
If HDFC bank opens a bank account in City Bank, it will be a Nostro Account for HDFC Bank and from the City Bank’s point of view, it would be a Vostro Account.
You would be thinking what about Loro account.
Loro Account:
When domestic banks use the account of third party banks which holds a Nostro account to settle foreign exchange transactions then these type of transactions are included under the Loro Account.
In other words, If a domestic bank who possess a bank account in foreign bank clear the due of foreign trade on the behalf of third party banks then this is called Loro account transactions.
Obviously, the third party bank doesn’t have the Nostro account and hence, in this case, domestic bank functions as an intermediary.
Example:
Consider HDFC Bank has an account with City Bank but IDBI Bank doesn’t have any Nostro account with City Bank. However, IDBI Bank has to pay the bill of imported machinery from the USA on behalf of its customers.
Therefore, IDBI Bank approaches to HDFC Bank and ask to settle the invoice on its own behalf.
Thus HDFC bank worked as an intermediary between City Bank and IDBI Bank.
Transactions in Nostro Accounts:
- The transaction is referred to as TT issuance/ TT sale/TT remittance.
- The bank will receive rupees value of $10,000 and transfer same from it’s Nostro account held in the USA. Hence Nostro account will be debited in this case.
- In this case, the City Bank in the USA will receive a dollar value of rs 10,00,000 from ABC Pvt Ltd and deposit the same to the Nostro account of HDFC Bank.
- Therefore, in this circumstance, Nostro account will be credited and further HDFC Bank will pay Rs.10,00,000 to Mr X.
- The HDFC bank will charge rupee value of $5,000 from Mr X and issue a DD however the transactions will not be entered in the Nostro account on the date of issuance of DD.
- This transaction will be entered in the Nostro account on the date of clearance of DD.
- Therefore, Nostro account of HDFC bank will be debited on the clearance date of DD.
- Now X approach his domestic bank to encash this DD and hence Bank will pay the rupee value of $5,000 to Mr X.
- This transaction is referred to as DD Encashment/ DD purchase/ DD payment.
- Nostro account of the domestic bank will be credited under this circumstance.
