Quick answer
Letter of credit review is a pre-bank check of the LC and document package before official presentation. The goal is to catch likely issues while there is still time to fix them, not after the bank issues a refusal notice.
When to use a pre-bank LC review
- The LC is high-value or time-sensitive.
- The credit includes amendments, special conditions, or unfamiliar wording.
- The shipment date, presentation period, or expiry date is tight.
- The package includes multiple certificates or third-party documents.
- Your team wants a second set of eyes before bank examination.
