LETTER OF CREDIT

The Documentary Letter of Credit known as LC or DLC is a written undertaking given by a bank to the seller (beneficiary) of goods or services. Letters of Credit are a means for financing international trade by which a bank (the issuing bank) takes the irrevocable commitment, at the request and for the account of its client (the applicant), to pay the exporter (the beneficiary) against the submission of various documents complying with the terms of the credit, such proving the fulfillment of a contractual obligation within a set time limit.

MetroBancorp has long term experience with the provision of premium bank instruments. We specialize on assisting importers whose existing bank facilities are unable to meet their requirements.

Generally, we do not require collateral and no fees are charged without the proper instrument being issued.

BANK GUARANTEE / STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT

The Standby Letter of Credit or SBLC as well as the Bank Guarantee (hereafter ‘Bank Guarantee’) is a payment guarantee generally issued by a bank (the issuing bank) on behalf of a client (the applicant) securing payment to a third party (the beneficiary) for the case that the client fails to fulfill a contractual commitment.

Bank Guarantees demonstrate the client’s repayment abilities and prove his solvency and credit worthiness towards his business partners.

Bank Guarantees are facilitated in international trade transactions, as collateral and as credit enhancement instruments. The use of Bank Guarantees is advantageous for companies that do not want to stake own equity.

MetroBancorp provides all types of Guarantees accepted in international practice:

Payment Guarantee
Issued under the Buyer’s instruction in favor of the Seller. Provides execution of the payment obligation by the Buyer under the contract.

Advance Payment Guarantee
Issued under the Seller’s instruction in favor of the Buyer for advance payment. Provides return of the sum in case goods are not delivered.

Performance Bond
Issued under the Seller’s instructions in favor of the Buyer as a guarantee of proper fulfillment of contract obligations by the Seller.
