There are two main payment mechanisms used in international trade: letters of credit and bills of exchange. Both guarantee payment to the seller as long as documentation and terms are met. Letters of credit involve a buyer's bank guaranteeing payment to the seller's bank once goods are delivered. Bills of exchange allow one party to pay a fixed amount to another at a predetermined future date, facilitating credit. The major parties for letters of credit are the applicant (buyer), issuing bank, beneficiary (seller), advising bank, and confirming/negotiating banks.

Letter of credit and bill of exchange
1. BILL OF EXCHANG AND LETTER OF CREDIT (L/C)
There are a number of payment mechanisms that are used when conducting international business.
Letters of credit and bills of exchange are two such mechanisms commonly used in international trade
that facilitate lines of credit for the buyer. The major similarity between the two is that the seller will
be guaranteed of payment as long as all documentation is provided, and terms and conditions are met.
What is a Letter of Credit?
Letters of credit are used to provide credit in international payment transactions. A letter of credit is
an agreement in which the buyer’s bank guarantees to pay the seller’s bank at the time goods/services
are delivered. Once the buyer and seller agree to do business, the buyer requests for a letter of credit
from the issuing bank to ensure that international transaction is secure and guaranteed. Once the
seller ships the goods (in accordance to the contract), the issuing bank sends the Letter of credit to the
advising bank. Once goods are delivered and a request for payment (with or without documentation –
depending on types of letter of credit) is made, the issuing bank pays this amount to the seller’s bank.
Finally, the issuing bank obtains the payment from the buyer and releases documents so that the buyer
can now claim the goods from the carrier.
There is a little risk in a letter of credit as the seller can obtain payment (from the issuing bank)
regardless of whether the buyer is able to pay. A letter of credit will also ensure that all standards of
quality agreed upon in the letter of credit will be met by the seller. There are few types of letters of
credit, which include documentary credit and standby letters of credit. When a standby letter of credit
is used, the seller may not have to submit all documentation to receive payment, and a mere request
for payment should ensure that the funds are transferred from buyer’s bank (issuing bank) to the
seller’s bank.
What is a Bill of Exchange?
Generally, a bill of exchange is used in international trade activities where one party will pay a fixed
amount of funds to another party at a predetermined date in the future. The bill of exchange will
facilitate a line of credit for international traders. The party who writes up the bill of exchange is
known as the drawer, and the party that is to pay the sum of money is known as the drawee. The
drawee will accept the terms laid out in the bill by signing it, which will then convert this into a
binding contract. The seller can discount their bill of exchange with the bank and obtain immediate
payment. The bank will then obtain the funds from the drawee. A bill of exchange facilitates secure
transactions by ensuring that the bank will accept the bill of exchange written up by drawee, which
means that the seller will receive the funds regardless of whether the buyer pays or not.
The major parties involved in a letter of credit are discussed below.
Applicant of Letter of Credit.
Applicant is one of the main parties involved in a Letter of Credit. Who is an applicant under Letter of
credit?
Applicant is the party who opens Letter of Credit. Normally, buyer of goods is the Applicant who
opens letter of credit. Letter of credit is opened as per his instruction and necessary payment is
arranged to open Letter of credit with his bank. The applicant arranges to open letter of credit with his
bank as per the terms and conditions of Purchase order and business contract between buyer and
seller. So Applicant is one of the major parties involved in a Letter of credit.
2. LC Issuing Bank
Issuing Bank is one of the other main parties involved in an LC. Who is an Issuing Bank under Letter
of credit?
Issuing Bank is the bank who opens letter of credit. Letter of credit is created by issuing bank who
takes responsibility to pay amount on receipt of documents from supplier of goods (beneficiary under
LC).
Beneficiary party
Beneficiary is one of the main parties under letter of credit. Beneficiary of Letter of credit gets the
benefit under Letter of credit. Beneficiary is the party under letter of credit who receives amount
under letter of credit. The LC is opened on Beneficiary party’s favor. Beneficiary party under letter of
credit submits all required documents with his bank in accordance with the terms and conditions
under LC.
Advising Bank
Advising bank is another party involved under LC. Advising bank, as a part of letter of credit takes
responsibility to communicate with necessary parties under letter of credit and other required
authorities. The advising bank is the party who sends documents under Letter of Credit to opening
bank
Confirming Bank
Confirming bank is one of the other parties involved in Letter of Credit. Confirming bank as a party of
letter of credit confirms and guarantee to undertake the responsibility of payment or negotiation
acceptance under the credit.
Negotiating Bank
Negotiating bank is one of the main parties involved under Letter of Credit.
Negotiating Bank, who negotiates documents delivered to bank by beneficiary of LC. Negotiating
bank is the bank who verifies documents and confirms the terms and conditions under LC on behalf of
beneficiary to avoid discrepancies.
Reimbursing Bank
Reimbursing Bank is one of the parties involved in an LC. Reimbursing bank is the party who
authorized to honor the the reimbursement claim of negotiation/ payment/ acceptance.
Payments in international trade are generally made through bills of exchange and banker’s drafts.
A bill of exchange is an order drawn by a person upon a bank or another person asking the latter to
make certain payments to a third party.
Bills may be “Sight” or “Long” bills. A sight bill is a bill payable at sight i.e., on presentation. A Long
bill is payable after a certain period mostly 90 days after presentation.
3. If the importer or an accepting house on his behalf writes the word “accepted” on the face of the bill
and signs his name the bill is said to be “accepted”. The acceptor then becomes liable for paying the
bill. If the bill is sold in the money market it is said to be “discounted”. The seller receives the face
value of the bill Less the interest at an agreed rate for the currency of the bill.
These bills act as a bridge between:
(i) The unwillingness of the exporter to part with the goods until he is paid for, and
(ii) The unwillingness of the importer to pay for the import unless he is sure of receiving the goods.
Banks act as a via-media by giving the necessary assurance to both the parties. Under this form of
payment, the exporter submits the documents to his bank along with the bill of exchange. The
exporter’s bank then sends the bill along with the documents to its correspondent bank in the
importer’s country and presents the bill before the importer either for payment or for acceptance as
per terms of the bill. The documents along with bill are full set of bill of lading invoice and a marine
insurance policy.
There are two types of documents under this method:
(i) Documents against Payments (D/P), and
(ii) Documents against Acceptance (D/A).
(i) Documents Against Payment (D/P):
In such cases goods are shipped and the documents of title of goods along with the bill of exchange
are surrounded to his bank by the exporter. The bank will send the documents and bill to its
correspondent bank in the importer’s country.
The bank in the importing country will present the documents along-with the bill to the buyer and on
making the payments of the bill of exchange will hand over the documents to the importer. Until the
payments are made the title to the goods vests with the exporter.
(ii) Documents against Acceptance (D/A):
In this case the documents are sent to the importer through banker, the banker presents the bill to the
importer for acceptance and if he accepts the bill, the bank will deliver the documents of title to the
buyer (importer) so that he may take possession of goods. On due date, the bank will again present the
bill to the buyer for payment and if payment is received, the collecting banker sends the amount to the
exporter through normal banking channels to be credited to his account.
Normally, under D/A bills the exporter will have to wait for payment till the final payment is received
on due date. This may take time and the commercial banks very often discount such acceptances and
thus the exporter receives the payment of the bill immediately after shipment of goods. Both the types
of bill-D/A and D/P are common in export trade, there are various commercial risks which the
exporter must take into account before he agrees to accept payment on such basis.
