Why do I need to pay your fee before you open the letter of credit? Can't you take your fee out of the profits of our transaction?
We do not participate in the transactions of our clients as a party to the transaction other than a provider of certain financing. Therefore, we do not participate in the profits of our client's transactions. Our fees are the same regardless of the profit margin in the transaction.

We can open letters of credit for any type of goods provided they fall into our ethical and legal criteria.
I opened a letter of credit to my supplier, but he did not ship the goods. Will you refund my fee?
