A Documentary credit (aka Letter of Credit) is a secure payment instrument which is used in both domestic and cross-border transactions, providing payment security for the beneficiary (seller) and delivery security for the applicant (buyer). Documentary credits (DCs) are, generally, irrevocable and definite undertaking of the issuing bank to honor complying presentations, i.e. provided that the beneficiary presents required documents as per the stipulations of the DC and they constitute a complying presentation, the issuing bank is bound to honor. Since documentary credits are very flexible and may be issued in a wide variety of forms, they can fulfill different needs of exporters and importers.
