Negotiation Under Documentary Credits
Exporters under DC can choose to have their export bills negotiated.  Their bank will then pay the exporter the value of the export documents provided that:

  • the documents fully comply with the DC terms
  • the issuing bank is able to reimburse all drawings and charges (it may not be able to do so if exchange control has been introduced or if the bank has gone bankrupt)
