Letter of credit that carries a provision (traditionally written or typed in red ink) which allows a seller to draw up to a fixed sum from the issuing bank, in advance of the shipment can be defined as a red clause letter of credit.
Red clause letters of credit supply advance payments to the exporters before they actually ship the goods to the importers.
Exporters receive advance payments under red clause letters of credit mostly from the issuing banks inside the letters of credit.
It is also possible that the advance payments are payable outside of the letters of credit from the importers to the exporters.
Normally, the issuing banks make the advance payment under red clause letters of credit against presentation of advance payment guarantees issued by the bankers of the exporters, guaranteeing a refund in the event of failure to ship under the credit.
