Document background
The Operative Letter of Credit serves as a crucial instrument in international trade finance under Singapore jurisdiction. It is typically used when parties seek a secure payment method in cross-border transactions, particularly when dealing with unfamiliar trading partners. The document incorporates specific terms regarding payment conditions, shipping requirements, and documentary compliance, all governed by Singapore law and international banking practices. This instrument provides security to sellers by guaranteeing payment upon presentation of compliant documents, while protecting buyers by ensuring goods are shipped as specified.
