Letters of Credit (LC)

‍

Secure Your International Trade with Forward Trades

A Letter of Credit (LC) is a crucial financial instrument in international trade, acting as a bridge of trust between buyers and sellers across different legal systems, time zones, and market practices. At Forward Trades, we enhance the traditional LC process, offering you a secure, reliable, and efficient way to manage your international transactions.

How It Works

‍

1. Buyer and Seller Agreement:
The process begins with a mutual agreement between the buyer and seller on the terms of the sale, including the use of a Letter of Credit. This agreement sets the stage for a secure transaction.

2. Issuance of LC:
The buyer requests their bank to issue a Letter of Credit in favor of the seller. At Forward Trades, we streamline this process, ensuring that the LC accurately reflects the trade agreement, reducing the risk of misunderstandings.

3. Document Submission:
After shipping the goods, the seller presents the required documents to their bank. These documents are then forwarded to the issuing bank for verification. Our LC services guarantee that this process is handled efficiently, ensuring compliance with all terms and conditions.

4. Payment:
Once the issuing bank verifies that all documents meet the LC requirements, payment is released to the seller. This guarantees that the seller will receive payment as long as the agreed terms are met.
