PAYMENT METHODS: LETTER OF CREDIT

Letters of Credit: Letters of credit (LCs) are one of the most secure instruments available to international traders. An LC is a commitment by a bank on behalf of the buyer that payment will be made to the exporter, provided that the terms and conditions stated in the LC have been met, as verified through the presentation of all required documents. LC can be of different types depending on the basis for categorization. However, there are basically two broad classification of LC and these include: Unconfirmed LC and Confirmed LC. Unconfirmed LC involves only one bank giving undertaking to pay under certain documentary terms and conditions while Confirmed LC involves an additional undertaking by a second Bank called the Confirming Bank. This is use to protect the seller against political and economic risk in the destination country.

Funds are received from the importer and remitted to the exporter through the banks involved in the collection in exchange for those documents.

PAYMENT METHOD:OPEN ACCOUNT (CASH AGAINST DOCUMENTS)

Open Account: An open account transaction is a sale where the goods are shipped and delivered before payment is due, which is usually in 10 to 90 days. Obviously, this option is the most advantageous option to the importer in terms of cash flow and cost, but it is consequently the highest risk option for an exporter. Because of intense competition in export markets, foreign buyers often press exporters for open account terms since the extension of credit by the seller to the buyer is more common abroad.

  2. Exporter ships the goods to the Importer
