BURUNDI LETTER OF CREDIT CONFIRMATION FEE 2024

For Burundi, when an exporter has concluded a commercial export contract with a Burundian importer and the two parties do not know each other, the irrevocable and confirmed letter of credit is the most appropriate instrument to mitigate the risks.

The Burundian importer will ask the Burundian bank to issue a letter of credit for the benefit of the exporter who will have previously named the name of the notifying and confirming bank to be accepted by the exporter.

For Burundi, the exporter must choose a confirming bank that has in its network of correspondents the Burundian bank that is proposed by the importer but also the one that has an acceptable credit rating so that there is no default of payment from the confirming bank.

A letter of credit issued in Burundi is usually confirmed by a big number of banks which are prepared to take the risks of Burundian banks and make sure the beneficiary of the LC or exporter obtain his payment.
