The Advising Bank authenticates the LC received from the Issuing Bank and advices/notifies the Beneficiary that there is an LC issued in his favour.
It is advisable to check through the terms and conditions of the LC to ensure that it reflects what was agreed under the Sales Contract.
If in doubt on the LC terms, it is prudent to approach your banker for clarification, and if needed, request for an amendment from the Issuing Bank.
This will facilitate the document presentation stage where any discrepancies could result in a delay of payment, or non-payment.
LC Confirmation is usually requested if the seller is not comfortable with the creditworthiness of the Issuing Bank, and/or is concerned over the buyer’s country risk. In return, the seller is required to pay an LC confirmation fee to the Confirming Bank.
You may request for UOB to safe-keep your Export LCs to facilitate document presentation at a later stage.
