UPAS Letter of Credit Financing for International Trade
UPAS Letter of Credit Financing for International Trade
UPAS LC stands for Usance Payable At Sight. Your supplier is paid at sight by the confirming bank while you, the buyer, receive deferred terms. Financely structures UPAS LCs so suppliers ship with confidence and buyers preserve working capital for 60 to 180 days. Use this to win pricing, secure allocations, and keep inventory moving.
Where UPAS LC Fits
- Importers needing 60 to 180 day terms without cash strain.
- Suppliers who require immediate payment on compliant documents.
- Trades where confirmed LC is a seller prerequisite.
- Deals where faster supplier payment improves price and allocation.
- Transactions in metals, fuels, chemicals, machinery, and agri goods.
