Letter of Credit (LC)
​Secure Cross-Border Payments. Strengthen Buyer-Seller Trust.
A Letter of Credit (LC) is the gold standard for reducing payment risk in international trade. It guarantees that a seller will receive payment—on time and in full—once they meet specific, pre-agreed conditions.

At Credit Glorious, we issue irrevocable, ICC-compliant LCs backed by an A+ Basel rating and $200M+ in capital. Our solutions help ambitious SMEs secure international contracts, protect working capital, and build trust with new partners—without relying on traditional banks.
What Is a Letter of Credit?

A Letter of Credit is a binding financial instrument issued on behalf of a buyer. It assures the seller that payment will be made, but only after all contractual and documentary conditions are satisfied. It protects both sides from fraud, delivery failure, or delayed payment.

This instrument is core to international trade—particularly where relationships are new, values are high, or jurisdictions differ.

Who Typically Uses Letters of Credit?

Manufacturers

Purchasing raw materials or industrial equipment

Contractors

Needing to demonstrate secure financial terms in project bids

Trade Consultants

CFOs managing cross-border payment risk

Exporters

Required to guarantee payment in tenders or procurement deals

Importers & Distributers 

Dealing with overseas suppliers

Slight LC
Payment is made immediately upon correct documentation.
Deferred Payment LC
Payment occurs at a later date, under pre-agreed terms—ideal for longer production timelines.
Confirmed LC
Backed by a second, confirming institution—provides maximum security for sellers in risk-sensitive regions.
Revolving LC
Set up once and used repeatedly for ongoing trade cycles.
