Documentary Letter of Credit
Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC) is a widely trusted financial instrument that guarantees payment in international trade transactions. Issued by a bank on behalf of a buyer, a DLC ensures that the seller receives payment only upon meeting all contractual conditions and presenting the required shipping and trade documents. This reduces risk for both parties and promotes secure and seamless global trade.
