Letter of credit
What is a Letter of credit
A letter of credit is a payment instrument issued from a Bank, in name and on the account of the applicant (Importer), to assure the payment to the beneficiary (Exporter) of goods and services. A Stand by letter of credit allows the exporter to collect payment from the Bank if the Bank’s customer does not pay according to the original terms and conditions.
