This course provides a practical overview of the long-established but still rather esoteric trade financing instrument, the Documentary Letter of Credit, known variously as Documentary Credit, Commercial Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit, L/C, and D/C. For the purpose of this course, we will limit ourselves to “Documentary Credit” and “L/C”. Upon completion, you will have developed a good foundational understanding of the importance of the documentary letter of credit in enabling trade, the versatility of this proven instrument in addressing a range of market conditions and a variety of client needs. You will also appreciate the strengths of this unique financial instrument, as well as the weaknesses (and a couple of misconceptions) of this mechanism.
