open letter of credit

Read a random definition: mansion-house rule

A quick definition of open letter of credit:

An open letter of credit is a type of letter of credit that can be paid on a simple draft without the need for documentary title. It is an instrument under which a bank agrees to honor a draft or other demand for payment made by a third party, as long as the draft or demand complies with specified conditions, and regardless of whether any underlying agreement between the customer and the beneficiary is satisfied. Open letters of credit are governed by Article 5 of the UCC and are used when there will be multiple drafts under a single transaction or multiple transactions under a single credit.

A more thorough explanation:

An open letter of credit is a type of letter of credit that can be paid on a simple draft without the need for documentary title. It is a commercial law instrument under which the issuer, usually a bank, agrees to honor a draft or other demand for payment made by a third party, as long as the draft or demand complies with specified conditions, and regardless of whether any underlying agreement between the customer and the beneficiary is satisfied.

For example, if a company in the United States wants to buy goods from a company in China, they may use an open letter of credit. The U.S. company's bank would issue the letter of credit to the Chinese company's bank, guaranteeing payment upon presentation of a simple draft. This allows the Chinese company to ship the goods without worrying about payment, and the U.S. company to receive the goods before making payment.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
