FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A Letter of Credit is used to facilitate trade payments — the bank commits to pay your supplier once specific documents are presented. A Bank Guarantee is a commitment to compensate a third party if you fail to fulfil an obligation, such as a contract or advance payment. LCs are about payment for goods; guarantees are about contract performance assurance.
