Your Letter of Credit

A friend for life
Approximately 70% of documentation presented to banks for payment against letters of credit is rejected because of various discrepancies. This has a huge impact in terms of lost revenue to the exporter and the buyer’s ability to clear the goods for import at overseas destinations.
