The lack of credibility in insurance claims handling is the focus of consumer complaints today, and one of the important links in the credibility enhancement of the industry as well. Even though the letter of credit is mostly used in trade settlement domestically, its introduction into the claims handling process can effectively solve the current problem in claims settlement. This is to use bank credit as a guarantee to the applicant which can effectively improve the credibility of the insurance sector. The author believes that the domestic letter of credit system can be a useful tool in building up the credibility the insurance industry.
