The safe, lawful route

Don't be afraid of letters of credit

Don't give up the bank's protection for informal arrangements.

Many exporters avoid letters of credit — they find them slow, risky or hard to read. The result: they give up the protection a bank provides and fall back on informal arrangements. Yet a properly structured letter of credit is the safest and most lawful way to protect yourself from payment risk. We make the process clear, predictable and free of surprises.

Letter of credit vs. informal arrangement

Comparison
Payment securityA bank
Rule frameworkUCP 600
  • The bank's independent undertaking

    Payment rests on a bank guarantee, not on personal trust.

  • A document-based, auditable process

    Every step is on record, so you have grounds in a dispute.

  • Legal protection and transparency

    Informal arrangements offer no such safeguard.

Services

With you from issuance to collection

We manage every critical step from cleaning up the text to document preparation and presentation follow-up — through to zero discrepancies.

LC text review and revision

We review the draft LC text line by line before issuance, catching unmeetable conditions, trap clauses, and anything that leads to a discrepancy — before you ever accept it.

Confirmability analysis

So your money isn't at risk if the issuing bank won't pay: we assess your transaction's confirmability and shift the risk to a strong confirming bank.

Document preparation and presentation follow-up

Not a one-time check: we prepare the documents together, follow presentation through to the end, and take responsibility until zero discrepancies.

Operational management throughout

One missed date puts the whole transaction at risk. We take on the entire process from issuance to collection, including deadline and document tracking.

Knowledge

Where do discrepancies come from?

Most discrepancies originate in the wording and the documents — which means they can be fixed before the credit is issued.

The six most common causes

  • Inconsistent documents
  • Missed deadline
  • Unworkable condition
  • Missing or wrong document
  • Description mismatch
  • Confirmation or bank risk

Catching these details is a matter of expertise — Cleaning the wording, analysing confirmation, and document preparation and presentation follow-up — all three take years of field knowledge. That is exactly what we do: you focus on your product, we chase the rules.

Why Türel

We fill the gap that banks leave open

A bank processes the LC but won't revise the text in your favor — and it only points out the errors at presentation, when it's too late. We step in one move earlier.

Intervention before issuance

Once you accept the text, every clause binds you; fixing it later means amendments, cost, and renegotiation. We clear the trap clauses while it's still a draft.

Early intervention

20 years of field expertise

Reading the rulebook isn't enough; you have to know how each article is actually applied. Real transaction experience across flooring, medical, and machinery. CDCS in progress.

Field experience

Automation layer

Missing one critical date can jeopardize the whole collection. Our deadline and document tracking runs on a system, not by hand — no date slips through.
