Letters of Credit
A Letter of Credit (LC) is an irrevocable undertaking by a Bank on behalf of its Customer/Buyer for payment to Seller/Supplier/Exporter, as per tenor of LC, provided the required documents are presented in conformity with LC terms. This method protects the Buyer, since no payment obligation arises until the documents proving that the goods have been shipped or delivered as proposed are presented.
