What is a Callable-on-Demand Letter of Credit (LC)?
A Callable-on-Demand LC is a powerful trade finance instrument that allows the beneficiary (usually the seller/exporter) to claim payment from the issuing bank immediately upon demand—typically by presenting minimal documentation or proof of conditions.
This LC is structured to remove negotiation delays and provide fast cash access. It is ideal for urgent or sensitive deliveries, high-value contracts, or transactions where the beneficiary needs payment certainty without conditional approvals.
🧠 “We chose Callable-on-Demand LCs for high-value sensitive deals. NNRV’s structuring gave us peace of mind.” – Laura B., Security Equipment Supplier
