At Merchant Trade Finance, we specialize in facilitating secure international trade transactions through expertly structured Letters of Credit. An LC acts as a formal commitment from a buyer’s bank to the seller, guaranteeing payment upon presentation of specified documents that prove shipment and contract compliance. This reduces payment risks inherent in cross-border trade and helps exporters and importers operate with confidence. We coordinate closely with global banking partners to tailor Letters of Credit that suit the unique terms and conditions of each trade deal, ensuring that buyers and sellers alike have a dependable financial safety net.
Our experienced team guides clients through the entire process — from initial application and negotiation of terms to reviewing and advising on the required documentation. We ensure that every LC issued is fully compliant with the internationally recognized UCP600 rules, minimizing the risk of discrepancies that could delay payment. Whether it’s a sight LC for immediate payment or a usance LC allowing deferred payment terms, our solutions are flexible and designed to meet your business needs. Our proactive communication with banks and trading partners expedites processing, helping you seize market opportunities without delay.
