What is a Usance LC?
A Usance Letter of Credit (LC), often referred to as a “Usance LC,” is a widely used financial instrument in international trade. Unlike Sight LCs, where payment is made immediately upon presentation of compliant documents, a Usance LC defers the payment to a future date specified in the LC. The deferred payment period, also known as the usance period, is typically negotiated between the buyer (importer) and the seller (exporter). Usance LCs are used to provide credit terms to buyers, allowing them to receive goods or services before making payment.
The Role of Usance LCs
Usance LCs play several crucial roles in international trade:
Credit Terms: They allow buyers to receive goods or services and defer payment until a specified future date, providing flexibility in managing cash flow.
Risk Mitigation: For sellers, Usance LCs provide assurance that payment will be made on a specified future date, reducing the risk of non-payment.
Market Competitiveness: Offering credit terms through Usance LCs can make a buyer’s offer more competitive, helping secure business in competitive markets.
International Trade Facilitation: Usance LCs help facilitate international trade by providing a secure method of payment that is acceptable to both parties.
