Documentary Letter Of Credit (DLC)
A letter of credit is a document typically from a bank (Issuing Bank), assuring that a seller (Beneficiary) will receive payment up to the amount of the letter of credit, as long as certain documentary delivery conditions have been met. In the event that the buyer (Applicant) is unable to make payment on the purchase, the Beneficiary may make a demand for payment on the bank. The bank will examine the Beneficiary’s demand and if it complies with the terms of the letter of credit, will honor the demand.Â
A Letter of Credit (LC) is a bank-issued document guaranteeing that a seller (beneficiary) will receive payment up to a specified amount, provided they meet the agreed documentary conditions. If the buyer (applicant) cannot pay, the seller can demand payment directly from the issuing bank. Once the bank verifies that the demand complies with the LC’s terms, it will release the funds. This instrument is widely used in domestic and international trade to reduce payment risk and build trust between trading partners.

Common challenges include complex documentation requirements, strict compliance checks that can cause delays, varying international banking regulations, high issuance and processing fees, and the risk of non-payment if documents are incomplete or inaccurate. Additionally, differences in interpretation of LC terms between parties can lead to disputes, potentially slowing or jeopardizing transactions.
