which is used to negotiate a letter of credit. Seller discounts that
bill of exchange with the bank and gets money.

exchange to buyer's bank for onward forwarding to the buyer for
the acceptance and the buyer finally, accepts bill of exchange
drawn by the seller on buyer's bank because he has opened that
LC. Buyers bank than get that signed bill of exchange from the

financing and receive immediate funds in exchange for a sales
document not drawn under a letter of credit. The bank will send the

overdraft limit, then interest is normally charged at the
agreed rate. If the negative balance exceeds the agreed
terms, then additional fees may be charged and higher
interest rates may apply.

Credit given to a customer by a retailer for the payment of
purchases. Retail credit can be granted either through outside credit
cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express or through
retailer-generated credit cards. In-house credit cards encourage
store loyalty.
Retail credit facilities lend funds to consumers wishing to
purchase high ticket items but are short on capital. Thus, retail
credit facilities may enable a greater number of consumers access
to a retailer's goods. Retail credit facilities give the option of
consuming now or consuming in the future. Higher interest rates
may be acceptable to some consumers, depending on the
consumers' unique consumption utilities. The risk of default is a
factor that determines the interest rate that retail credit facilities
charge.

A letter of credit is a document that a financial institution or similar party
issues to a seller of goods or services which provides that the issuer will
pay the seller for goods or services the seller delivers to a third-party
buyer. The issuer then seeks reimbursement from the buyer or from the
buyer's bank. The document serves essentially as a guarantee to
the seller that it will be paid by the issuer of the letter of credit
regardless of whether the buyer ultimately fails to pay. In this way,
the risk that the buyer will fail to pay is transferred from the seller to the
letter of credit's issuer.

of a debtor will be met. In other words, if the debtor fails to settle
a debt, the bank will cover it.

business activity. This facility is basically for existing customer
using credit facilities with bank & supported by cash margins
While issuing financial guarantee, bank ensure that the customer
is in a position to reimburse the bank, in case bank is required to
make the payment under the guarantee.
