Mitigating Risks in Transferring Banks under Letters of Credit

 Introduction: When engaging in international trade, letters of credit (LCs) play a crucial role in ensuring secure and efficient transactions. However, the process of transferring the L/C can expose both the transferring bank and the parties involved to certain risks.

The Principle of Independence in Demand Guarantees

Demand guarantees are a common tool used in international trade to provide assurance to the beneficiary that they will receive payment for goods or services rendered. These guarantees are often issued by banks and serve as a form of security for the beneficiary in the event that the applicant fails to fulfill their obligations.

Protesting a bill due to non-payment in D/A collection

Protesting a bill due to non-payment in documentary collection can be a necessary step to mitigate the risk of non-payment by the Importer. Under the terms of documentary collection with delivery document against acceptance, there is always a possibility that the transaction may not work out as expected if the Importer fails to pay on the maturity date. In such cases, the Exporter's Bank, also known as the Remitting Bank, can instruct the Importer's Bank, or Collecting Bank, to protest the bill for non-payment or non-acceptance. However, it is important to note that the Collecting Bank is not obligated to follow these instructions. If the Collecting Bank decides to handle the protest instruction, they may issue a bill note. It is crucial to understand that the specifics of this note may vary depending on different jurisdictions. To note a bill, the Collecting Bank typically sends it to a public notary who will then re-present it to the Drawee (Importer) on the same day it was r
