Description
In simple terms, a documentary letter of credit is a legally binding guarantee issued by a bank on behalf of the buyer to pay the seller, provided that the seller meets the conditions outlined in the credit terms and conditions. This guarantee gives the seller assurance that they will receive payment for their goods or services, while the buyer is protected against the risk of not receiving the correct products or delivery specifications.
These letters of credit are commonly used in international trade, where distance and unfamiliarity between buyers and sellers can increase the risk of non-payment or delivery disputes. As such, a documentary letter of credit is a valuable tool for importers and exporters to mitigate financial risks and ensure smoother transactions.
