standby letter of credit (L/C)

Definition

Primarily a substitute for a performance bond or payment guaranty, this L/C is used mainly in the US where banks are legally barred from issuing certain types of guaranties. It serves as a parallel (collateral) payment source in case the primary source fails to meet its obligations in part or in full.
