Documentary credit transactions
Documentary credits (or Letters of Credit) are a very important METHOD OF PAYMENT in international trade. They are normally IRREVOCABLE which means that they cannot be changed or cancelled without the agreement of all parties. In order to understand how they work you must first realize that there are four parties to a Documentary Credit transaction.
a1 The buyer or importer = silver office supplies
b2 The importer's bank (the issuing bank) = finlays bank,london
c3 The seller or exporter = shonan computers
d4 The exporter's bank (the ADVISING or CONFIRMING Bank) = the yotsuboshi bank, tokyo
Firstly. The importer and the exporter must negotiate and agree a sales contract. Then the importer begins the Documentory Credit process by asking his bank to open a Documentary Credit in favour or the exporter. The importer supplies his bank with details of the transaction on an application form. By agreeing to open the credit, the importer's bank guarantees to pay the exporter it the importer cannot or will not pay.
Next, the importer's bank (the ISSUING bank) sends details of the Documentary Credit to the exporter's bank ( or to its agent bank in the exporter's country). At this stage, the exporter's bank may EITHER simply pass on the details of the Documentary Credit to the exporter, in which case it is an ADVISING bank, OR add its own guarantee to the credit' in which case it is a CONFIRMING bank.If the credit is CONFIRMED, the transaction is very safe for the exporter, because TWO banks have promised to pay him if the importer does not, and if the importer's bank does not pay him, then the CONFIRM bank will.
