The Electronic Letter of Credit serves as a crucial instrument in modern international trade finance, adapted to meet the demands of digital commerce while maintaining the security and reliability of traditional Letters of Credit. Under Maltese law, which provides a sophisticated framework for both banking and electronic commerce, this document type combines the traditional Letter of Credit features with advanced electronic capabilities. The Electronic Letter of Credit is particularly relevant when parties seek to streamline their trade documentation process through digital means while maintaining the security of bank-mediated payment. It incorporates specific provisions for electronic presentation of documents, digital signatures, and secure electronic communication channels, all while ensuring compliance with Malta's Electronic Commerce Act and Banking Act, as well as international standards including UCP 600 and eUCP.
