Abstract
This paper discusses the international documentary credentials and its role in the international trade. The appearance of the international trade and the increasing distance of the principal (a buyer or importer) and the creditor's beneficiary (a seller or exporter) leads to the need to protect both of them as well as the other parties in business. In comparison with other legal institutes in banking business, the most frequent use has the international documentary credentials because, beside being a payment instrument, it has the role of securing claims too. Legal relations in letters of credit are regulated by the Law of Contract.
