Practical Letters of Credit

The Trade Services Department is the heart of every commercial bank. It is said, and accurately
so, the continuity of the bank is dependent on the soundness of its Trade Services Operations.

Our sophisticated
system of operations guarantees to eradicate the high risk inherent in issuing
import DCs, advising export DCs, confirming DCs, settlements and checking all types of
commercial, financial, formal and insurance documents.

But even the best of systems can only be effective if it is run by well trained practitioners who
possess the minimum level of knowledge required to conduct FAULTLESS operations. It is for
this reason that we have developed our Practical Letters of Credit Course; to convey to LCs
practitioners the technical expertise they need to do an impeccable job.

This unmatched program is the exemplary means to explore how to soundly apply the intricate
articles of the UCP, eUCP, URR525 and relative provisions of the ISP98. For Arabic speaking
practitioners, it is the sole route to sound practice.
