The buyer requests the establishment of a line of credit to the issuing bank, which in turn, establishes a correlational contract with the confirming/advising bank in the seller's city. The issuing bank issues the letter of credit and sends SWIFT (World Society for Interbank Financial Telecommunication) messages to the confirming bank, the seller receives the letter of credit and must verify that it corresponds to what was agreed with the buyer.
Once the goods are delivered, the seller must present the documents verifying the shipment to the confirming bank, if the documents are in order, the bank pays at sight or agrees to pay at a future date. The confirming bank sends the documents to the issuing bank and the issuing bank, in turn, delivers the documents to the buyer.
