Abstract
This study aimed to explore problems of export documentary letters of credit that face Jordanian banks during Corona-Virus pandemic (Covid-19). Other minor objectives include testing the relationship between these problems on one hand and each of the banks’ size (big / medium / small) and their type (Islamic / traditional) on the other hand.
To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire was designed. This questionnaire was distributed to all publicly listed Jordanian banks. The results indicated that all (16) tested problems were proved to be significant.
