Understanding SBLC

The process of issuing a DLC involves drafting the terms along with thorough verification of the credentials of the involved parties. With DLC the risks for both parties are reduced because of clearly defined terms further leaving no room for ambiguity. Clear documentation and pre-agreed conditions further streamlines the trade especially in unfamiliar markets.
