In the textbook, a red clause credit is often described as a credit which stipulates that an advance payment is to be made by the nominated bank but under the protection of the issuing bank. The beneficiary must repay the value of the advance payment received plus the financing fee from proceeds of the drawing made under the credit. If no complying presentation is made, the issuing bank would pay the nominated bank the total amount due (the advance payment amount plus the financing fees).

Part B covering 70pct of goods value is payable against shipping documents. Question: Can this kind of credit be called a ‘red clause credit’ or ‘anticipatory credit’?
