Trade Finance Education
A sight payment LC (also called a sight payment letter of credit or sight payment documentary credit) is governed by UCP 600 rules. The issuing bank promises to honor payment when the beneficiary presents documents that strictly comply with the terms of the credit.
The bank does not inspect the cargo, visit the warehouse, or verify the commercial contract. It only examines the documents “on their face.” If compliant, the bank pays. If not, the bank refuses.
Buyer and seller agree the transaction will be settled via a sight payment letter of credit.
The buyer’s bank issues the LC in favor of the exporter and sends it to the advising bank.
The exporter ships goods and gathers all required transport and commercial documents.
The exporter presents documents to the bank. If compliant, the issuing bank pays at sight.
Although each LC differs, banks usually require:
A sight LC pays immediately after document examination. A usance LC creates a deferred payment obligation payable at a future maturity date (30, 60, 90 or 180 days).
Exporters prefer sight payment LCs because they avoid credit exposure to the buyer. Importers sometimes prefer usance credits because they provide working capital time.
Because refusals are common, many traders request a pre-check or independent review before presentation. That is the role of a sight payment letter of credit advisory service , which reviews the LC wording and the document set before bank presentation.
Submit the LC and contract before shipment. Fixing a document before presentation is easy. Fixing it after refusal is difficult.
Submit Your DealAfter determining a compliant presentation, typically within 5 banking days under UCP 600 examination rules.
No. Banks only check documents, not the cargo.
Yes. Any discrepancy between the documents and the LC terms allows refusal.
It reduces buyer credit risk but introduces documentary risk. Compliance with LC wording is critical.

Financely and its affiliates are not registered as securities broker-dealers and do not execute securities transactions or hold client funds or securities.

Those broker-dealers are solely responsible for trade execution, custody, and related regulatory obligations. Nothing in this material constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security or to engage in any specific transaction. Before engaging Financely Group LLC, Ashford Capital Advisory LLC, or any affiliate, you are responsible for confirming that such engagement complies with your own legal, regulatory, tax, and other requirements. In the United States, certain advisory activities may be conducted in reliance on exemptions available under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, including the “foreign private adviser” exemption where applicable.
