Tailored Solutions

Eliminate counterparty risk in international trade

When trading internationally, the biggest question is always: will I get paid, or will I receive my goods? Monex Payment Assurance bridges the trust gap between importers and exporters with bank-backed instruments, expert guidance, and seamless integration with your FX transactions.

Irrevocable Letters of Credit

The gold standard in trade payment security. An irrevocable LC provides a bank guarantee that the exporter will be paid once they present compliant documents — regardless of the buyer's financial situation.

Bank-guaranteed payment upon document presentation
Protection for exporters against buyer default
Importers only pay when shipment documents are verified
Expert support for document preparation and compliance

Learn About LCs

Standby Letters of Credit

A safety net for your trading relationships. Standby LCs function as a guarantee — they're only drawn upon if the buyer fails to fulfill their payment obligations under the contract.

Acts as a payment guarantee rather than primary payment method
Lower cost than irrevocable documentary LCs
Ideal for ongoing supplier relationships
Can be used as security for open account terms

Standby LC Details
