Letters of Credit for International Trade Finance in Minutes… for Everyone
Don’t use banks for letters of credit. Get instant, cheap letters of credit from Payco instead.
Letters of credit (LCs) are used routinely in international trade. They are financial instruments that guarantee payment to an exporter for the delivery of goods or services LCs have been used for a long time, but we’re revolutionizing the way they work using technology. At the moment, LCs are provided by banks that operate through slow, expensive and complicated systems. Bank LCs take several days to process, they cost as much as 3x the cost of a Payco LC, and they’re a hassle but now you don’t need to wait so long and pay so much. We’ve changed the way LCs work using blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and stable cryptocurrencies. Letters of credit are now much faster, cheaper and easier with Payco. We’ve opened up the eligibility requirements as well, making LCs available to all businesses.

Why You Should Switch to Payco for Letters of Credit
Businesses that use bank LC systems regularly and are tired of the delays, hassle and cost that come with them will see a big improvement with Payco. Our system makes paying and getting paid in international trade with letters of credit easier, faster and cheaper than with the old methods.
We also open up more possibilities and improve the security of LC transactions.
More Trade Finance Possibilties
We provide letters of credit for values under $100,000. Banks often don’t. This opens up letters of credit to businesses executing transactions at lower values. Similarly, we also provide a solution in geographical regions where poor bank credit ratings or other issues make LCs difficult to obtain.
Enhanced Transaction Security
With the Payco LC system, you get a better level of security for every transaction than you do with a bank LC.
This is because the compliance requirements for our financial intermediary license require us to operate with a full reserve. Banks, on the other hand, often operate with a fractional reserve. We also don’t take customer funds off our balance sheet by reinvesting them.
All our LC products are fully funded, making fund delivery guaranteed.
Payco Works Like an Escrow Service
After an importer takes out an LC, we hold their funds in a secure escrow account. Upon completion of an exchange, the funds are then released to the exporter. Both parties can have complete trust in each other and the system they rely on.
