Letter of Credit Reimbursement helps you to simplify a complex trade finance problem: how to settle payment when the issuing bank is not a correspondent of the beneficiary bank. The solution is to incorporate a reimbursement instruction into the terms of the letter of credit, allowing a beneficiary bank anywhere in the world to claim payment from a nominated reimbursement bank holding a pre-authorised debit instruction from the issuer of the credit. The reimbursing bank is not a party to the letter of credit but acts as paying agent for the issuing bank.

Standard Chartered has a number of value-added features to the standard reimbursement offering, such as pre-advice notification of payment, blanket authorisations, reimbursement undertakings and authorisations processing.

What does Standard Chartered offer?
Standard Chartered is a leader in trade finance and provides expert assistance with letter of credit reimbursements. Our vast global payments network, which includes more than 2,500 correspondent account relationships, provides the foundation for efficient letter of credit funds settlement throughout the world.

The United States is the largest market for reimbursements because the majority of world trade is conducted in US dollars. Standard Chartered has over 100 years of experience in the United States and is a member of both the Federal Reserve and CHIPS clearing systems. We are one of the largest foreign bank processors of US dollar payments through CHIPS. In addition, we offer Reimbursement Services in the United Kingdom for Sterling and Euro, Japan for the Yen, Hong Kong for both US and Hong Kong Dollar, and Singapore for both US and Singapore Dollar.

Revenue sharing arrangements are offered to high volume users, and further details can be obtained from your Relationship Manager.

For more information about Standard Chartered's Reimbursement Services, please contact your local Relationship Manager.
