Letters of credit are bank documents that are commonly used for the purchase and sale of goods across international borders. A letter of guarantee is an agreement by a bank (the guarantor) to pay a set amount of money to some person (the beneficiary) if a bank customer (the principal) defaults on a payment or an obligation to the beneficiary.
