Features

A letter of credit (also known as documentary credit) is an irreversible undertaking or guarantee issued by HFB at the request of an importer to make payment for goods to an exporter upon presentation of specified documents that comply with the terms and conditions set out in the sales agreement.

From an exporter’s perspective, the letter of credit transfers any payment or transaction associated risk from the importer to HFB. It is the most reliable and secure way for importers and exporters to protect their trading interests and minimize their respective risks in a trade transaction.
