Letter of creadit
JSC “bsb Bank” offers reliable option of payment for imported goods and services – letter of credit.
Letter of Credit is an internationally recognized form of international settlements, which fully meets the requirements of the Belarusian legislation and the legislation of your counterparty.
Letter of Credit is an independent form of payment and it has a number of advantages for importers and exporters, setting Letter of Credit apart from other forms of non-cash payments.
Advantages for an exporter (supplier of goods, service provider):
-
Before the shipment date the exporter receives the obligation of the bank (in case of confirmed letter of credit – a number of banks) to pay under the Letter of Credit.
-
The risk of non-payment decreases provided that the exporter observes the conditions of the Letter of Credit.
-
The buyer cannot unilaterally refuse to pay after the Letter of Credit issuance.
- If the supplier duly performs all the shipment obligations, it will have the opportunity to receive the payment immediately.
- The Letter of Credit can be confirmed by the first-class European bank (in case of confirmed Letter of Credit).
Advantages for the importer (buyer of the goods):
- The importer defines the documents set to be presented according to the Letter of Credit terms (the documents can include the third party audit certificate, goods quality or state certificates, etc.)
- The exporter receives the payment only after submission of the documents, corresponding to the terms of the contract.
- The importer can insist on the shipment within the reasonable time period and set the shipment time limits in the Letter of Credit.
- As the Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus “On the order of settlements under foreign-trade import contracts” #165 of November 11, 2008 entered into force the Letter of Credit is the alternative to the advance payment.
