Letters of Credit
A Letter of Credit is a guarantee from a bank that the seller will receive payment from a buyer. The bank guarantees that the seller will receive a specified amount of money within a specified time. In return for guaranteeing the payment, the bank will require that strict terms are met.
Letters of Credit can save you time, reduce risk and accelerate payments. We can assist with checking your documents and will remove the hassle with a full service, leaving you to focus on running your business.
Advantages of using a Letter of Credit
-
The buyer receives a guarantee that the seller will fulfil their side of the deal and present the necessary proof, whilst the seller will have peace of mind they will get paid in full and on time.
-
This is one of the most secure methods of payment if all the terms and conditions are met.
