UOB, the Advising Bank, will authenticate your Letter of Credit before releasing the LC to you. With this, you can be assured of the authenticity of your LC, giving you greater peace of mind. You will receive a notification from us when we receive the LC.

If you are a middleman/reseller in a transaction, you can request for UOB to transfer your Export Transferrable LC to the final seller. This will eliminate the hassle of issuing an LC to purchase the goods before selling them against an Export LC, thereby helping you quickly secure the goods you have purchased.

If you are unfamiliar or uncertain about the credit rating of the LC issuing bank or the operating environment the bank is domiciled in, you can request for your buyer to allow UOB to confirm the letter of credit.
