Import Letters of Credit
Essential for any business that purchases goods from overseas, the Import Letter Of Credit is a conditional undertaking of payment by a bank for your account. It assures that your seller will be paid only after they have fulfilled all their documentary obligations. The seller benefits by the assurance that the bank will pay them once they have presented the required documents.

California Bank & Trust offers both irrevocable and confirmed letters of credit, tailored to your exact requirements. Equally important, we can provide expert assistance in dealing with complex transactions, particularly with the intricate procedures to be followed.
