When must I pay for an LC/BG? Can I pay after the instrument is issued?

At SCB we require that fees for the instruments are paid before we issue the instrument. In order to provide protection to clients we always offer a free draft of the LC/BG to the client before requiring any fees. This way the client may present the draft to their bank before we go ahead with official bank communication. This also ensures that the instrument is to the exact requirements of our clients

We have been in the trade finance business for over 10 years and value our commitment to our clients. We understand the value of hard earned money.

How long after payment of fees is the Instrument Issued?

Once fees are received the instrument (LC/BG) is issued within 48 hours. Certain factors such as time zones come into play when determining exact turn around time.
