Alliance Bank's business bankers' first responsibility is to listen to you. They know every business as well as every owner or manager is unique. They know you have special needs and circumstances that may not fit the mold and may take "thinking outside the box". If your business is unique, thank goodness so is Alliance Bank!

Commercial Letters of Credit

Commercial Letters of Credit are conditional promises to pay if certain documentary requirements are met.

The Letter of Credit acts as substitution of credit risk. Essentially, the bank promises to pay under the terms of the Letter of Credit, regardless of the client's financial position at that time. In a best-case scenario, these Letters of Credit will be drawn upon to fulfill an obligation.

• Can be used to purchase goods or services, domestically or internationally
• Requires commercial approval when the client issues the Letter of Credit
• Must be tied to a commercial line of credit
• When client receives the Letter of Credit, no approval necessary
