Letters of Credit

A Letter of Credit is one of the most secure payment methods an exporter can use to ensure payment is received for a shipment.   It is typically set up as a contract between an importer’s bank and the exporter, who is designated as the beneficiary.  The steps involved in the Letter of Credit process can be a bit tricky to navigate so this webinar reviews the process carefully and will be valuable to anyone involved in international trade.
