Letters of Credit

Letters of Credit (L/C’s) have a multi-function in the business world. They can be used for purchase of goods (Documentary Letter of Credit) or as collateral or a guarantee (Stand-by Letter of Credit).

Some companies do not have dedicated staff to process L/C’s, especially if the volume is small. This results in time lost and delays in shipment and/or receipt of payment. Banks offer little help as they expect you to know how to process L/C’s.
