Spanish term or phrase: apertura de crédito
Aparece en dos párrafos... ¿Será tan simple como credit opening o credit opening agreement? Gracias por su ayuda


apertura de crédito es un contrato mediante el cual una persona, el acreditante, banco o particular se obliga con otra, el acreditado a poner a su disposición una cantidad de dinero determinada, o emplear su crédito en beneficio de aquel.
El articulo 291 de la ley de artículos y operaciones de crédito lo define con bastante exactitud al decir:
"Que es un contrato por el que el acreditante se obliga a poner una suma de dinero a disposición del acreditado o asumir una obligación por este, quien se compromete a restituir dicha suma o a cubrir el importe de dicha obligación, si fuere cumplida por el acreditante".
La unidad jurídica de estas operaciones es la apertura de crédito la cual se caracteriza por el hecho de que el banco se compromete a dar dinero al acreditado o asumir una obligación de poner determinada cantidad de dinero a disposición del mismo acreditado, y este se compromete a restituir la cantidad que el acreditante le entrego directa e inmediatamente, al cumplir la obligación.

Occasionally, I have come across a new verb "aperturar" which is used in terms of opening some type of account. Hope this helps.

apertura de crédito
loan agreement


Explanation:
That's a guess, but I don't think it has anything to do with letters of credit. (Here's Banamex's take: "The credit opening is a contract by means of which the Bank (Banamex) puts at the disposal of the accredited a sum of money. The mortgage is a real guarantee constituted on goods, generally real estate, which is not delivered to the creditor. The Credit opening with mortgage is a financing that can be used for:• To promote the construction of housing and real estate for other uses (commercial place, offices, plants (floors), etc). • To cover financial requirements of diverse nature, that is to say, for definition of product there is no specific destiny" (says it all)
