What is a letter of credit? 

A letter of credit is a written guarantee from Conexus that ensures a seller or supplier will receive payment as long as agreed‑upon conditions are met. It’s commonly used in business contracts, construction projects, and import/export transactions to reduce risk for both the buyer and the seller. 

It offers reassurance when partners are new to each other, located in different regions, or working on large or complex projects where financial certainty is essential.
