Trade finance

A letter of credit gives additional security to businesses in international trade transactions. It is an undertaking of the buyer’s bank to pay a certain amount to the seller upon presentation of shipping documents described in the letter of credit.

• No need for the buyer to make prepayment, and they may receive longer payment deadlines
• The seller receives payment regardless of the buyer’s ability to pay
• The terms of the letter of credit can be amended or cancelled only with the consent of the seller, so the order cannot be cancelled or changed without the seller’s agreement
• The seller can receive financing from the bank without additional collateral
