Letters of Credit (LCs) are the safest and often most convenient means of financing trade related transactions. An LC (Documentary or Standby) is a written undertaking given by a bank (Issuing Bank) to a beneficiary on instruction from an applicant (issuing Bank’s client) to pay the beneficiary at sight, or at a determinable future date, a stated amount of money within a defined time. This undertaking is conditional upon the beneficiary’s documentary compliance with the terms and conditions in the LC.
A Documentary Collection is the collection of a sum of money due from a buyer to a bank against delivery of certain documents. The bank, acting as trustee and intermediary between exporter and importer, presents documents - by order of the exporter - which are proof of the actual delivery of a product or service rendered, and in exchange receives payment of the amount owed or obtains acceptance of a bill of exchange.
In its simplest form, an exporter requires an importer to prepay for goods shipped. The importer naturally wants to reduce risk by asking the exporter to document that the goods have been shipped. The importer’s bank assists by providing a letter of credit to the exporter (or the exporter’s bank) providing for payment upon presentation of certain documents, such as a bill of lading.
The exporter’s bank may make a loan to the exporter based on the export contract. The type of document used in the process depends on the nature of the transaction and how evidence of performance can be shown (i.e., bill of lading to show shipment). It is useful to note that banks only deal with documents and not the actual goods, services, or performance to which the documents may be relating to.
