Is a standby letter of credit the right choice? Learn the best practices when dealing with a SBLC and how to avoid common problems that may arise.
After this topic, you should be able to evaluate whether using a SBLC is feasible and appropriate as opposed to some other form of credit assurance, what terms and problems should be requested and avoided, how to spot SBLC issues and problems and deal with them, when to ask for a confirmation or advice, how to prepare for and properly draw on a letter of credit, how to use certificates to protect the applicant, and what to avoid in letter of credit practice. The benefits of this topic include what to look for in SBLCs, what the alternatives are, who to go to for help and issues to address in drafting and drawing on a letter of credit; and if you are a banker that handles letters of credit, the common problem areas and exposures, and how to avoid or minimize them. The materials provided with the content alone should provide a guide for issue spotting and resources for where to look for further help.
