In the banking system the department of foreign exchange is very foremost section where letter of credit (LC) is the primary financial tool which used in the most import and export transactions. Guaranteed payment upon presentation of the documents, reducing the production risk, obtain financing for production or purchase of goods, allows the importer to avoid or reduce pre-payment and also the payment will be made only upon presentation of the documents confirming shipment of the goods. All these help the bank to deals with the customers in the country and also outside the country.
