Both Letter of Credit and Letter of Guarantee are commitment to payment by the issuer of the instrument (generally a Bank). In letter of credit, the issuer has to fulfill his commitment on fulfilling the terms and conditions of the letter of credit by the beneficiary. Whereas, on the other hand, in letter of guarantee the issuer has to make payment, when the beneficiary is unable to fulfill the terms & conditions of the letter of guarantee.
