Our Letters of Credit provide your organization with the financial backing it needs to conduct business with confidence, ensuring security and trust in domestic and international transactions.

What is a Letter of Credit?

A Letter of Credit (LC) is a financial instrument issued by the bank that guarantees payment to a seller (beneficiary) on behalf of a buyer (applicant), provided that the terms and conditions outlined in the LC are met.
