standby letter of credit
Also known as a standby credit, a financial letters of credit or an SLC. Similar to an on demand bond, it enables one party to a contract to obtain payment from the issuer of the standby credit when the other contracting party has failed, or is alleged to have failed, to perform the contract or some part of it. They are often expressed to be payable simply on the presentation of a written demand and certain documents in a specified form. In this way they are different to letters of credit and other documentary credits.
