Trang 7PART 1 THEORETICAL BASIS 1.1 The concept of a bank's credit line, classification
A committed credit line is a monetary spending loan balance offered by a financial institution that cannot be suspended without notifying the borrower A committed credit line is a legal agreement outlining the conditions of the credit line between the financial institution and the borrower
1.2 What issues do banks usually consider when appraising credit lines (conditions when appraising limits for businesses)
Depending on each bank, there will be different conditions, but there will be the following main conditions:
Domestic enterprises have a continuous business period of 12 months or more from the time of registration Or have local confirmation of the actual business time from 12 months
Business registration lines are suitable for borrowing loans, business
plans,
Have a viable business plan, have the full financial capacity, and clear
source of repayment
Having secured assets with loan security value
There are no bad debts at banks or other credit institutions
Banks often consider what issues to consider when evaluating credit limit
commitments :
First, pay attention to the determining side of the business: grasp the capacity of the operator, the competitive power of the product, the technical strength
Second, quantitative analysis without depending on financial information: even if financial information is not available, by various methods it is
necessary to grasp and analyze the financial situation of the business.
Trang 8Moreover, it is required to check the suitability between items, the suitability of the quantitative side compared to quantitative numbers e@ Thirdly, analyze the purpose of using loans: after grasping the situation of the enterprise, conducting a project analysis based on short-term forecasts 1.3 What is escrow? Classification
Definition:
An escrow is an amount of money, gemstone or some related important
papers taken into an account, then blocked, strictly controlled in the bank for the purpose of guaranteeing companies and organizations, when doing projects or Investing
Escrow deposits can be money or precious metals, gems, or valuable papers that are frozen in banks or credit institutions to ensure the performance of obligations
Escrow is a legal concept describing a financial instrument whereby an asset or escrow money 1s held by a third party on behalf of two other parties that are in the process of completing a transaction Escrow accounts might include escrow fees managed by agents who hold the funds or assets until receiving appropriate instructions or until the fulfillment of predetermined contractual obligations Money, securities, funds, and other assets can all be held in escrow
It is often suggested as a replacement for a certified or cashier's check
Escrow is a process used when two parties are in the process of completing
a transaction, and there is uncertainty over whether one party or another will be
able to fulfill their obligations Contexts that use escrow include Internet transactions, banking, intellectual property, real estate, mergers and acquisitions, and law, and many more
Types of deposit:
Trang 9There are 3 most common types of deposit that are commonly seen as L/C Open Margin, Guarantee deposit for contract execution, Margin for multi- industry business purposes.
Trang 10Due to the nature of international dealings, including factors such as distance, differing laws in each country, and difficulty in knowing each party personally, the use of letters of credit has become a very important aspect of international trade
L/C is made by the bank and is valid as a letter at the mutual request of the parties Contents of L/C are agreements and commitments to pay goods to the
exporter
b) Guarantee deposit for contract execution:
This form is often applied to large-scale construction works with huge costs The deposit will be agreed between the investor and the contractor Usually, the owner will be forced to deposit with the bank to ensure that the project is done with the nght quality and on schedule During the construction process, if there is a problem that is not self-resolved, the investor will use this deposit to fix and compensate for the damage to the work
This 1s a fairly secure form of deposit for both the investor and the project This is a safe transaction for both parties to ensure that all issues are followed in
a predictable order
co) Margin for multi-industry business purposes:
A formal technique to secure business and in case of disruption or
production in some fields and other industries
The reason for this escrow format is because throughout the business
process, the investor must ensure to maintain the minimum amount.

Trang 13- Carrying out escrow measures:
This method of depositing escrow proves the existence of an intermediary
in a legal relationship.In which, the bank is an intermediary to protect the
interests of the exporter and importer In addition, the bank 1s also the place where each party 1s required to strictly comply with the contractual agreement and is entitled to collect a service fee from the escrow subject to open the LC 1.5 The process of depositing funds
A letter of credit ( L/C ) is a legal document issued by a financial institution (usually a bank) to provide a guarantee of payment to a beneficiary or accepts draft drawn by him to the extent that it is on the basis that the beneficiary must meet the terms of the letter of credit
And if you are a domestic Importer, you must be interested in learning about how to open a letter of credit to a foreign exporter In this article, I will
detail the steps in practice for you to successfully open LC right from the first
transaction with the bank
In fact, the process of opening L/C is very simple with only three steps:
Step 1: Apply open L/C
Step 2: The main bank accepts the application and opens a letter of credit for the business
Step 3: The banking system operates, transferring letters of credit to partners and beneficiaries
Although there are only three simple steps, it is not easy to open an L/C in both business and banking positions Why is that? To understand that we will go deeper into the above steps
It should be noted that:
1 Each bank has its own, different credit opening application form Enterprises
wishing to open letters of credit must first select the bank they want to open L/C
with That bank may be a very familiar bank and have transacted with businesses
Trang 14many times, or it may be a strange bank At that time, the procedure for applying
to open a business may be very different Therefore, businesses must carefully study the application form of the selected bank, and carefully read the procedures
and regulations that the bank has prescribed
2 Application for opening letter of credit must be in writing at least 2 copies
After the Bank stamps and returns to the unit a copy
3 It is necessary to pay attention to the type of letter of credit that the business
needs and wants to open Banks will have different ways of providing L/C
services Most banks have deferred L/C, L/C at sight Besides, there are also types of L/C backup, transferable, back-to-back, cyclical, reciprocal Therefore, businesses need to carefully select and complete them in accordance with the requirements, procedures and documents of the bank
4 Be careful and consider carefully when setting out the conditions binding on
the exporting party
Avoid conflicts with the terms signed in the contract “Because the bank opens L/C at the request of the importer, so you should carefully review the contract content to ensure that there are no conflicts when putting it in the L/C.”
5 The application for credit is the legal basis for settling disputes between the applicant for the letter of credit and the issuing bank and the basis for the opening bank to send the credit to the exporter
6 In addition, when conducting registration to open L/C, businesses need to pay attention to their bank's requirements on deposit, guarantee, authorization Step 1: Apply for a letter of credit (L/C)
Based on the foreign trade contract (or offer invoice), the tmporting
organization shall actively write an application for opening a letter of credit and
