What is Letters of Credit?
Letters of Credit is basically an undertaking by a bank on behalf of the buyer which assures payment to the seller within a specified time, against the presentation of documents strictly in compliance with the terms stated in the issued MT700. Nowadays, LC has become a vital aspect to safeguard the trade transaction, due to differing laws in each country and the risk involved in dealing with unknown parties.
Letters of Credit is also called LC MT700, DLC, & LC at Sight. LC works in favor of both buyer & seller. By using LC as the payment term, the seller gets assured that if they present the documents on time as stated in the issued LC, then they will receive the payment for the supplied goods without any default. On the other hand, the buyer is assured that the bank will release the payment only after the thorough valuation of the presented shipping documents. So, using MT700 reduces the risk of paying the supplier without receiving the goods.
