The letter of credit (also known as L / C, documentary credit2 or "credoc") is a document proving a commitment by a buyer's bank to pay to the seller. The bank undertakes by this document to pay the seller, on behalf of the buyer, if the seller provides the documents (transport document, invoice, insurance document, packing list, The signatures, the bill of exchange if necessary, the deadline for submitting the file), in accordance with the conditions set out in the documentary credit [What?] 3. These documents are supposed to attest to the performance of its obligations by the seller. The term "documentary credit" is an abuse of language: the letter of credit differs fundamentally from the documentary credit in that it is not a payment instrument (but a guarantee). The settlement of an international commercial transaction benefiting from a letter of credit may be made by check, by draft, or by documentary delivery.
