In international commercial transactions, the Issuing Bank issues Letters of Credit through banking services. The bank is required to make payments to exporters. Documentary credit is a common and secure payment technique used by parties interested in international trade. However, the Issuing Bank failed to pay the L/C, thus the advising bank exercised its recourse rights by issuing a letter of indemnity. The difficulty in this article is to determine when the advising bank's recourse rights are exercised and the method for sending a letter of indemnity. The normative legal research method was applied in this study. According to the discussion, recourse rights can be used by including them in the L/C contract or trade contract and sending a letter of indemnity to the exporter as a form of payment guarantee, and recourse rights are made with a notification letter to the issuing bank stating the grace period for orderly payment.
