Why do I need a Letter of Credit?

Letters of Credit tend to be used to ensure that payment is received when buyer and seller do not know each other, and usually where they are in different countries. In some jurisdictions, settlement by Letter of Credit is insisted upon by the local authority, which may wish to control imports or the associated outflows of foreign exchange.

 

Why are Letters of Credit so popular for settling international trade debts?

Letters of Credit are undertakings by an issuing bank, on behalf of a buyer/importer, that payment will be made for goods or services supplied by a seller/exporter, provided that the seller complies with certain terms and conditions. In this event, if the buyer is unable to make the payment then the bank will cover the outstanding amount.
