Audit Fee Guarantee

If LC Shield misses a discrepancy that your bank cites in a refusal notice, and you send us that notice within 30 days of the refusal, we refund the audit fee you paid for that presentation.

Free audits and sample reports have no audit fee and are not covered by the refund.

The workflow

Three steps to a bank-ready set

1 · Load the credit & documents

Paste the LC terms and drop in your invoice, bill of lading, packing list and insurance — or upload PDFs. Uploaded documents are not retained after analysis.

2 · Run the discrepancy check

The engine cross-references every field against the credit and UCP 600 practice, then scores presentation readiness.

3 · Fix, then export

Get a ranked discrepancy list with UCP article references and suggested fixes. Export an executive PDF or CSV for your file.

Zero-friction engine

Built for documentary teams who can't afford a bounce

UCP 600 discrepancy engine

Amount & tolerance, goods description, latest-shipment & expiry dates, presentation period, originals & copies, endorsements, partial-shipment and transhipment rules — each finding cites the relevant article.

Your key, your documents

Estimated ROI
~3x

Illustrative model, not ICC data: 15% of presentations refused on first presentation, USD 100 bank fee, 15-day delay costed at 8% p.a. funding, 1.5 hours of staff time per LC, and every discrepancy caught before presentation. Plan cost is the cheaper of Single Pass × LCs and the Professional plan (Firm above 30 LCs/month). Not a guarantee.
