A Letter of Credit is a written commitment to pay, by a buyer's or importer's bank (called the issuing bank) to the seller's or exporter's bank (called the accepting, negotiating, or paying bank). A letter of credit guarantees payment of a specified sum in a specified currency,, provided the seller meets precisely- defined conditions and submits the prescribed documents within a fixed timeframe. These documents almost always include a clean bill of lading or air waybillm commercial invoice, and certificate of origin. To establish a Letter of Credit in favor of the seller or exporter (called the beneficiary) the buyer (called the applicant or account party) either pays the specified sum (plus service charges) up front to the issuing applicant or account party) either pays the specified sum (plus service charges) up front to the issuing bank, or negotiates credit. Letter of Credit is formal trade instruments and is used usually where the seller is unwilling to extend credit to the buyer. In effect, a Letter of Credit substitutes the creditworthiness of a bank for the creditwothiness of the buyer. Thus, the international baking system acts as an intermediary between far flung exporters and importers.
