Secure Your Payments with Expert LC Management

Letter of Credit transactions can be complex and unforgiving. A single discrepancy—even a minor one—can delay your payment by weeks or result in rejection. Our LC management service ensures your documents meet every requirement specified in the LC terms, protecting your cash flow and your business relationships.

Why Choose Our LC Services?

Eliminate Costly Discrepancies

Banks reject LC presentations for the smallest errors:

  • Invoice amounts that differ by even $1
  • Dates that don’t align with shipment requirements
  • Missing signatures or incorrect certifications
  • Description of goods that doesn’t match LC wording exactly

We catch these issues before submission, ensuring you get paid on time, every time.

Expert Review Process

Our LC specialists bring years of experience working with New Zealand exporters in primary industries. We understand the unique requirements for meat, dairy, seafood, and horticulture exports, and we know what banks look for during the negotiation process.

Common LC Challenges We Solve

Pre-Shipment Review

We examine your LC as soon as it’s issued, flagging impossible clauses or conflicting requirements before you commit to production or shipment.

Documentation Alignment

We ensure every document in your presentation set tells the same story—matching descriptions, quantities, values, and dates across all paperwork.

Bank Coordination

We handle the submission process, track the status of your presentation, and communicate with the bank on your behalf to resolve any questions.

Amendment Management

If the LC needs to be amended, we coordinate with the buyer’s bank to ensure changes are properly documented and don’t introduce new discrepancies.
