Document background
Commercial Letters of Credit are fundamental instruments in international trade finance, providing payment security to sellers while offering buyers credit support. Under Singapore's jurisdiction, these documents are governed by the UCP 600, local banking regulations, and MAS guidelines. Commercial Letters of Credit are particularly vital when parties are in different countries or unfamiliar with each other, offering a secure payment mechanism that protects both parties' interests. They specify payment terms, required documents, and conditions that must be met before payment is released, while complying with Singapore's strict financial regulatory framework.
