LETTER OF CREDIT (LC)
letter of credit is a letter from a bank guaranteeing that a buyer's payment
A
to a seller will be received on time and for the correct amount. In the event
that the buyer is unable to make payment on the purchase, the bank will be
required to cover the full or remaining amount of the purchase.
Due to the nature of international dealings, including factors such as distance,
differing laws in each country, and difficulty in knowing each party
personally, the use of letters of credit has become a very important aspect of
international trade.
Banks typically require a pledge of securities or cash as collateral for issuing a
letter of credit. Banks also collect a fee for service, typically a percentage of
the size of the letter of credit. The International Chamber of Commerce
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits oversees letters of
credit used in international transactions.
GUARANTEE
A bank guarantee is a guarantee from a lending institution ensuring the liabilities of a debtor will be met.
In other words, if the debtor fails to settle a debt, the bank covers it. A bank guarantee enables the
customer, or debtor, to acquire goods, buy equipment or draw down loans, and thereby expand business
activity. A bank guarantee is a lending institution’s promise to cover a loss if a borrower defaults on a loan.
The guarantee lets a company buy what it otherwise could not, helping business growth and promoting
entrepreneurial activity.
• A payment guarantee assures a seller the purchase price is paid on a set date.
