(DC).
An international payment method that processes the collection of a draft and accompanying shipping documents through international correspondent banks.
A documentary collection is a structure under which a bank collects payment directly from a buyer (by presenting documents to the buyer).
Compared with letters of credit (LCs), documentary collections (DCs) are used for smaller transactions, and a smaller total value of transactions.
DC and LC indicative data is summarised below.
Average transaction sizes (US exports)
DCs: US$ 0.1 - 0.2 million
LCs: US$ 0.5 - 1 million
Proportion of world trade in goods
