The At Sight Letter of Credit is a fundamental trade finance instrument used when immediate payment is required upon presentation of compliant documents. This document, governed by Belgian law, serves as a secure payment method in international trade transactions, providing assurance to sellers of receiving payment and to buyers of receiving goods as specified. It incorporates requirements from Belgian banking regulations, EU financial directives, and international banking practices (UCP 600). The document is typically used in cross-border transactions where parties seek to mitigate payment risks and ensure compliance with international trade standards. It specifies all terms and conditions, including document requirements, payment terms, and bank obligations, while adhering to Belgian jurisdictional requirements.
