A letter of credit is a letter from a bank that states that you have certain funds available. It is typically then provided by you to another party or bank, often abroad, so that goods are released for shipment or delivery to you. Ask your bank what they require to provide one. A letter of credit is not a credit card, loan, etc.
ConfirmedA confirmed letter of credit is when a second guarantee is added to the document by another bank. The advising bank, the branch or the correspondent through which the issuing bank routes the letter of credit, adds its undertaking and commitment to pay to the letter of credit. This confirmation means that the seller/beneficiary may also look to the credit worthiness of the confirming bank for payment assurance. UnconfirmedAn unconfirmed letter of credit is when the document bears the guarantee of the issuing bank alone. The advising bank merely informs the exporter of the terms and conditions of the letter of credit, without adding its obligation to pay. The exporter assumes the payment risk of the issuing bank, which is typically located in a foreign country. Best regards PMB

An irrevocable Letter of Credit can be either confirmed or unconfirmed. In a confirmed Letter of Credit, the issuing bank (representing the buyer) agrees independently to the buyer's commitments to pay the seller the agreed-up amount of money, as long as all the requirements of the Letter of Credit are fulfilled. A confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit can become very elaborate. A second bank (often specified as a prime bank) may confirm or otherwise guarantee payment of the foreign bank that initially opened the Letter of Credit. This requirement originates from the seller and usually takes places only if the bank of the buyer is not internationally established. UNCONFIRMED L/C A letter of credit which has not been guaranteed or confirmed by any bank other than the bank that opened it. The advising bank merely informs the beneficiary of the letter of credit terms and conditions.
