How Letter of Credit Works

How does Letter of Credit works

A Letter of Credit (LC) is a financial instrument issued by a bank that guarantees payment to a seller on behalf of a buyer. It serves as a secure method of payment in international trade, providing assurance to both parties involved in a transaction. Here’s how it works:

  1. Application: The buyer applies for a Letter of Credit through their bank, specifying the details of the transaction, including the amount, terms, and conditions.
  2. Issuance: The bank reviews the application and, if approved, issues the Letter of Credit to the seller’s bank. This document outlines the bank’s commitment to pay the seller upon fulfilling the specified conditions.
  3. Notification: The seller’s bank receives the Letter of Credit and notifies the seller. This gives the seller confidence that payment is secured, provided they meet the terms outlined in the LC.
  4. Shipment of Goods: The seller prepares and ships the goods, ensuring they comply with the conditions set forth in the Letter of Credit. This often includes providing specific documentation, such as invoices and shipping receipts.
  5. Document Submission: Once the goods are shipped, the seller submits the required documents to their bank, demonstrating compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit.
  6. Payment: The seller’s bank reviews the documents. If everything is in order, the bank forwards the documents to the buyer’s bank, which then processes the payment to the seller’s bank. The buyer’s bank charges the buyer’s account accordingly.
  7. Completion: Once payment is made, the seller receives the funds, and the buyer obtains the necessary documents to claim the shipped goods.

By utilizing a Letter of Credit, both buyers and sellers can mitigate risks associated with international trade, ensuring that transactions are conducted smoothly and securely. It builds trust between parties and provides a structured process for payment and delivery.
