A Letter of Credit is a contractual commitment by the foreign buyer’s bank to pay once the exporter ships the goods and presents the required documentation to the exporter’s bank as proof. As a trade finance tool, Letters of Credit are designed to protect both exporters and importers.
A Sight Letter of Credit is a type of LC where payment is made to the seller upon presentation of compliant documents. Once the seller meets the terms and conditions outlined in the LC, the issuing bank releases payment immediately, providing a secure and efficient method of payment for both parties
In a Time or Usance Letter of Credit, payment is deferred to a future date specified in the LC. This type of LC allows the buyer to take possession of goods or services before making payment, providing flexibility in cash flow management while still ensuring payment security for the seller.
A Revocable Letter of Credit can be amended or cancelled by the issuing bank at any time without prior notice to the beneficiary (seller). While this type of LC offers flexibility to the buyer, it provides less security and assurance to the seller compared to irrevocable LCs.
An Irrevocable Letter of Credit provides greater security and assurance to the seller, as it cannot be amended or cancelled without the consent of all parties involved. This type of LC offers a higher level of protection against non-payment or default, making it a preferred choice for most international trade transactions.
A Transferable Letter of Credit allows the beneficiary (seller) to transfer all or part of the credit to another party, known as the second beneficiary. This type of LC is commonly used in cases where the beneficiary acts as a middleman or intermediary in the transaction, facilitating trade between multiple parties.
Unlike commercial LCs used in trade transactions, a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) serves as a secondary payment guarantee, often used as a form of financial security or performance bond. SBLCs are commonly used in various industries, including construction, real estate, and finance, to mitigate risks associated with contractual obligations.
