Go to Letter of Credit (under FAQ) for tracking instructions for documents under a Letter of Credit.

What is the difference between a Documentary Collection and a Documentary Credit a.k.a. Letter of Credit (L/C)?
If you and/or your trading partner want more security when doin business internationally, a Documentary Collection can be a good option.
A Documentary Collection sees banks take on an intermediary role for delivery of trade documents and payment processing, but they do not guarantee payment.
With a Letter of Credit, on the other hand, one of the banks involved does guarantee payment. The importer’s bank undertakes to pay a certain amount once the exporter has complied with the terms of the Letter of Credit.
