Back-To-Back LC Lines
Back-to-Back Letter of Credit (LC) lines are a powerful trade finance tool designed to support intermediaries and trading companies involved in import-export transactions. This solution enables businesses to bridge the gap between the supplier and end-buyer by issuing a secondary LC backed by a master LC received from the buyer.
How it Works:
A Back-to-Back LC is issued by a bank on behalf of a trader using the incoming LC from their buyer as collateral. It allows the trader to purchase goods from a supplier without using their own capital, while ensuring that the supplier receives secure payment terms.
Ideal For:
Importers and exporters
Traders acting as intermediaries
Businesses without upfront capital for large transactions
Companies managing complex, multi-party trade deals
Key Features:
Enables smooth trading without tying up working capital
Enhances credibility with suppliers
Mitigates risks with secure payment terms
Flexible and tailored to transaction-specific needs
