About the Webinar

It is important to understand letters of credit from a technical perspective such as how, when and why to use letters of credit. Sometimes, however, that information presents perfect world information. Credit professionals need information that goes beyond the basics. They need to understand how to manage real-life scenarios.

Join a live discussion on letters of credit from the perspective of an experienced and seasoned credit manager. Credit managers Karen McLaughlin, ICCE, and Val Venable, CCE, ICCE, will speak with Deutsche Bank’s Fred Dons about the frustrations, challenges and issues credit managers face when using letters of credit.

The webinar will seek answers to questions that credit professionals have:

• Why don’t banks offer alternatives to LCs in high risk areas?
• Why does it take so long to get an LC in place?
• Why aren’t banks embracing online documentation for LCs?
