letter of credit, often abbreviated as an LOC ,LC or L/C, and also referred to as a documentary credit, often abbreviated as DC or D/C,documentary letter of credit, or simply as credit is a document issued mostly by a financial institution which provides an irrevocable payment undertaking to a beneficiary against complying documents as stated in the credit. This means that once the beneficiary or a presenting bank acting on its behalf, makes a presentation to the issuing bank or confirming bank, if any, within the expiry date of the LC, comprising documents complying with the terms and conditions of the LC, the applicable UCP and international standard banking practice, the issuing bank or confirming bank, if any, is obliged to pay irrespective of any instructions from the applicant to the contrary. In other words, the obligation to pay is shifted from the applicant to the LC issuing bank or confirming bank, if any. Non-banks can also issue LC.
The LC can also be the source of payment for a transaction, meaning that an exporter will get paid by redeeming the letter of credit. Letters of credit are used nowadays primarily in international trade transactions of significant value, for deals between a supplier in one country and a wholesale customer in another. The parties to a letter of credit are usually a beneficiary who is to receive the money, the issuing bank of whom the applicant is a client, and the advising bank of whom the beneficiary is a client. Since nowadays almost all letters of credit are irrevocable, (i.e. cannot be amended or cancelled without prior agreement of the beneficiary, the issuing bank and the confirming bank, if any). However, the applicant is not a party to the letter of credit.
