The Clean Letter of Credit is a specialized banking instrument commonly used in international trade transactions where the bank commits to pay the beneficiary upon presentation of minimal documentary requirements. Unlike standard documentary credits, a Clean Letter of Credit typically requires only basic documents such as a draft or receipt, making it a more streamlined instrument. This document, governed by Saudi Arabian law and regulated by SAMA, must comply with both Sharia principles and international banking practices, particularly UCP 600. It serves as a crucial tool in facilitating international trade while providing payment security to the beneficiary and financing options to the applicant. The document is particularly valuable in transactions where the parties have established trust or where simplified documentation is preferred.
