From Application to SWIFT in Hours

Quick LC enables businesses to apply for, review, and issue domestic and import Letters of Credit through a fully digital workflow. Collaborate with suppliers on a pre-validated draft before issuance, submit complete applications to the bank, and receive SWIFT confirmation without paper-based processes.

Quick LC — issuing letters of credit end to end digitally

Why businesses use Quick LC

Faster LC issuance

Submit, review, approve, and issue Letters of Credit through a single digital workflow, reducing processing time from days to hours for eligible transactions.

Collaborate before issuance

Share a pre-validated LC draft with suppliers before issuance to confirm documents, shipment terms, dates, and other conditions. Resolve differences before the LC is issued, reducing amendments later.

Fully digital workflow

Manage applications, amendments, approvals, document submission, and status tracking through a single online platform without paper forms or branch visits.

Simplify repeat transactions

Save supplier details, document requirements, and preferred LC terms as reusable templates for recurring trade relationships.

Letter of Credit issuance remains a manual process.

Many LC applications still depend on paper forms, repeated data entry, and manual communication between applicants, banks, and suppliers. Errors and post-issuance amendments increase processing time and operational effort.

Amendments after issuance

Suppliers often review LC terms only after issuance, resulting in avoidable amendments, additional costs, and shipment delays.

Repeated data entry

Manual completion of application forms increases the likelihood of validation errors and incomplete submissions.

Paper-based compliance

Declarations and supporting documents are frequently prepared manually for every application despite containing largely repetitive information.

Limited visibility

Applicants often have limited insight into application status and depend on manual updates from the bank.

Repeating the same work

Recurring trade relationships require the same information to be entered repeatedly across multiple applications.

Step 1

Create the application

Start from a saved template or upload a purchase order or pro forma invoice. Quick LC extracts relevant information, pre-populates LC fields, and validates the application as it is completed.

Step 2

Review with the supplier

Share the pre-validated draft with the supplier to confirm documents, shipment terms, dates, and commercial conditions before submission to the bank.

Step 3

Submit and issue

The validated application moves through bank review, limit checks, compliance screening, and trade operations processing. Once approved, the MT700 is transmitted through SWIFT and confirmation is returned to the platform.

Step 4

Manage the lifecycle

Track the issued LC, submit amendments, review version history, and manage document presentation through the same digital workflow.
