A DOCUMENTARY credit is frequently the agreed method of settlement for international trade. The buyer's bank reimburses the seller against presentation of documents drawn in compliance with conditions stipulated in the documentary credit by the buyer. There are advantages to both the buyer and seller when settlement is arranged by documentary letter of credit. First, the buyer knows that payment will only be made if the documents received comply strictly with the terms and conditions of the credit as stipulated by the buyer. Second, the seller knows that payment will be received provided the terms and conditions of the credit are strictly complied with.
