What is an LC at Sight?
A Letter of Credit (LC) at Sight, often referred to as a “Sight LC,” is a widely used international trade finance instrument that provides a secure method of payment in cross-border transactions. It is a commitment issued by a bank, on behalf of a buyer (importer), to pay a seller (exporter) a specified sum of money once the seller presents compliant documents. Unlike some other types of LCs, in an LC at Sight, the payment is made immediately upon verifying the documents, typically without any delays.
The Role of LCs at Sight
LCs at Sight serve several important purposes in international trade:
Risk Mitigation: For the buyer, an LC at Sight ensures that payment is only made when the seller fulfills the agreed-upon terms and presents the required documentation, reducing the risk of non-performance.
Simplicity and Speed: The term “at Sight” signifies that the payment is made promptly upon document compliance, making LCs at Sight one of the most straightforward and efficient payment methods in international trade.
Trust and Confidence: Both parties in the transaction benefit from the security and assurance that LCs at Sight provide. The buyer knows that the seller will only receive payment when the goods or services are delivered as agreed.
Compliance with Trade Regulations: LCs at Sight help ensure compliance with international trade regulations and standards.
