Letter of Credit (LC) is a payment instrument, which represents a bank’s written obligation, undertaken at a request of the bank's client, to pay a certain amount of a specified currency to the beneficiary, provided the beneficiary submits to the bank precisely required documents showing that goods were delivered or services provided within a certain time period.
Letters of Credit are subject to Uniform Customs and Practice of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Paris.

When to use a documentary letter of credit?
A transaction which results from a purchase or sales of goods becomes much more complex due to the following reasons:
- the buyer and the seller are not in a personal contact during the payment and the delivery of goods because they are separated by natural and legal borders
- the time period necessary for transportation of goods extends the sales transaction
- the customs formalities are necessary
- various types of risks may be involved (political, currency, etc.)
What is forfaiting?
Purchase of receivables under confirmed/unconfirmed export Letters of Credit with deferred payment represents a model of financing the exporter.
Use forfaiting under an Export LC to convert your receivables to cash and improve your liquidity!
Collection (Clean and Documentary) - Seller's order instructing the bank to deliver the submitted documents to the buyer via a correspondent bank in the buyer's country, provided the buyer pays immediately or accepts the draft drawn to him.
