Payment terms explained: TT deposit and Usance LC
Knowledge base · 12 Nov 2026
TT deposit: a telegraphic transfer of part of the contract value, commonly 30%, paid when the proforma invoice is confirmed.
Usance LC: a letter of credit under which the bank pays the seller at a set time after shipment, for example 60 or 90 days, giving the buyer time to receive and sell the cargo. It must be issued by a top-tier bank acceptable to Malaysian banks.
100% payment with EXIM Bank insurance is the alternative for new buyers. SBLC is not accepted.
