The Letters of Credit Training Course Overview

Letters of Credit (LC) are financial instruments used in international trade to ensure that payment will be received. Essentially, they are a commitment by a bank on behalf of the buyer that payment will be made to the seller, provided that the terms and conditions stated in the LC are met. This document is crucial in mitigating risks in international trade, as it guarantees payment to the seller while assuring the buyer of the receipt of goods.

The primary benefit of Letters of Credit lies in their ability to provide a high level of security in international trade transactions. For sellers, LCs guarantee payment as long as they meet the terms of the credit, reducing the risk of buyer insolvency or refusal to pay. For buyers, they ensure that the payment is only made when the sellers fulfil their part of the deal, typically by shipping the goods as agreed.
