Letter of credit is used in export/import of goods between two countries.  It is essentially means that the bank on which the lc is opened, is standing guarantee that the payment will be effected as per the lc terms which are pre-defined and accepted by the lc opener.  When you do not know the credit worthiness of a customer you can insist for lc by which your payment is protected by the bank.

Letter of credit(L/c) is a set of instructions given by the applicant to his Bank to transmit the set of instructions to the beneficiary of the L/c. The applicant's bank transmits the instructions to the beneficiary through its correspondant bank(basically advising bank) residing at the land of beneficiary. On acceptance of the terms & conditions by the beneficiary(else amendments are done), beneficiary tries to fulfill the terms & conditions. On satisfaction of the issuing bank, the issuing bank reimburses the beneficiary through its reimbursing bank or directly.
