Summary of the procedure
We will then provide you with a draft of the letter of credit (financial instrument)for the buyers review with the beneficiary. Attached to the draft will be an invoice for our charges. When the review process of the letter of credit draft is completed by you (or the buyer and seller), it will be your job to notify us. We will then be ready to open the instrument and it is time to pay our fees.
We always receive our fees by wire transfer before issuance of the instrument. Once we have received our fees and all of the completed relevant documentation that will be provided to by us for the transaction, it may take up to 3 days for the instrument to be issued, and for us to send you a copy of the issuance.
We need you to have total clarity. Please ask any questions that you may have.
