Letter of Credit - Complete Presentation - (Bcom-Mcom-BBA-MBA-BS)Millat Afridi
A letter of credit (LC), also known as a documentary credit or bankers commercial credit, is a payment mechanism used in international trade to provide an economic guarantee from a creditworthy bank to an exporter of goods. A letter of credit is extremely common within international trade and goods delivery, where the reliability of contracting parties cannot be readily and easily determined. Its economic effect is to introduce a bank as underwriting the credit risk of the buyer paying the seller for goods.
A bill of lading is a legal document issued by a carrier to a shipper that details the type, quantity and destination of goods being transported. It serves as a receipt for delivered goods and acts as a contract of carriage between the buyer and seller. A bill of lading can be negotiable or non-negotiable. A negotiable bill of lading allows the holder to transfer ownership of the goods to a third party, while a non-negotiable bill names a specific consignee. A bill of lading contains details of the carrier, shipper, consignee, description and quantity of goods, ports of loading and discharge.
This document discusses various methods of payment used in international trade. It describes five common methods: open account, bills of exchange, cash in advance, letter of credit, and documentary collection.
For open account, payment is due 30-90 days after shipment, providing credit but also risk if the importer does not pay. Bills of exchange involve a draft directing payment, allowing credit while establishing debt evidence. Cash in advance requires full payment before shipment, eliminating risk for exporters but being unattractive to importers. Letter of credit and documentary collection both involve banks and documents to facilitate trade while mitigating risks for both parties.
