Export Letters Of Credit
 
Letter of credit is an arrangement whereby a bank known as opening bank promises to pay for the goods and services of the suppliers /exporter if documents representing such export /services are drawn as per the terms and conditions of the letter of credit.
 
We have very wide range of correspondents in the world and almost all the banks in Turkey from where we get these letters of credit. These l/c s are advised by us to all exporters /suppliers /sellers.
 
We do all the functions from the very start until payment is done and l/c is completely utilized.

- we verify the authenticity and verify signatures
- scrutinize the text for technical defects and advise the l/c
- confirm the l/c if required or requested
- carry out the amendments or request the same if required
- handle the documents means scrutinize the docs for discrepancies and accept if correct
- or pay if payment is at sight
- we discount the documents if requested by the beneficiary
- We make assignment and transfer the L/C if requested by the beneficiary and if the L/C is transferable
 

We charge commission for each of these functions although our charges very reasonable and lower as compared to most of the banks.
In many cases these charges are being borne be the applicant as per L/C terms.
To receive these services it is not necessary to have any kind of permanent account with us.
 
Confirmation is the additional promise given by confirming bank besides the promise given by opening bank to the beneficiary of the L/C.
We also make transfer in a very selective basis in case of transferable L/C. Transfer is the right to receive the letter of credit from original beneficiary by a party which he designates. 
 
We also assign the l/cs if requested by original beneficiary and can be defined as the right to receive money under letter of credit.
