Letter of Credit-i (LC-i)

LC-i is a written undertaking by the Bank at your request as a Buyer/Applicant to pay the Seller/ Beneficiary a certain sum of money as stipulated in the LC-i provided that the Seller/Beneficiary complies with the terms and conditions of the LC-i. Our experience shows that our undertaking to pay Seller/Beneficiary is accepted widely throughout the world.
