This month, the Making Sense team answers client questions related to trade policy developments and their impacts on key economic issues.
When you encounter a business transaction that requires assurance that your payment will be made a standby letter of credit may be what you need. It doesn't have to be related to the purchase of goods or services. It's based on a contractual agreement or other obligation and is drawn upon by the beneficiary only when the applicant fails to meet the underlying obligation.
Certify creditworthiness in domestic as well as foreign transactions.
Eliminate the need for cash deposits or more complicated guarantees, such as bid or performance bonds.
Establish creditworthiness of US-based parent companies to subsidiaries overseas.
Reduce banking costs, since standby letters of credit are less expensive than bonding and other credit facilities.
Ensure that international transactions are properly structured.
