Letter of credit — is a monetary obligation of the bank, accepted in reliance upon the order of the customer-buyer to make payment in favor of the seller after the latter has submitted the documents stipulated by the terms of the letter of credit.

Uncovered letter of credit – is a letter of credit without collateral in the currency of the letter of credit. Uncovered letters of credit are not only a standard method of settlements under foreign economic contracts in the majority of countries, but also represent an efficient instrument for financing transactions.

Deferred payment L/C is a documentary document of credit for which payment is made on a future date determined in compliance with the letter of credit. This type enables the importer to receive a deferred payment, but at the same time, the exporter can discount documents in cases of their compliance with the terms of the letter of credit, thereby receiving funds upon presentation.

In case of impossibility to obtain a deferred payment from the exporter (a commercial loan under a trade contract), “Kapitalbank” JSCB offers its customers-importers the opening of letters of credit with post-financing.

Post-financing – is a form of attracting financing from foreign credit and financial entities, in which, within the framework of an opened letter of credit, the financing (executing) bank pays for documents to the exporter after they have been submitted in compliance with the terms of the letter of credit, followed by a deferred payment for an agreed period.

Bank guarantee — is an obligation of the bank-guarantor issued on behalf of the customer (and at his expense) to pay the recipient of the bank guarantee (beneficiary) a sum of money in compliance with the agreement between the customer and the recipient. Payment is made upon submission of a written request from the recipient, as well as additional documents specified in the bank guarantee.

Standby (reserve) letter of credit - is a documentary letter of credit which can be used by the beneficiary only in case of default on the transaction to which it relates. The standby letter of credit acts as a guarantee if there is a default on contractual obligations. Initially, standby letters of credit evolved because US law limited the banks’ rights to issue guarantees.
