Overview

Credit support that a beneficiary will accept

Suppliers, lenders and project counterparties often ask for a bank instrument before they release goods, funds or contracts. If your own bank lines or balance sheet cannot cover that requirement, we structure an alternative: leased collateral, a standby or documentary letter of credit, a bank guarantee, or a loan guarantee from a regulated issuer.

We prepare the credit file, match the deal to issuers that underwrite that type of risk, agree wording with the beneficiary, and coordinate the process through to issuance and delivery over SWIFT.

Use Cases

Where clients use it

Commodity imports

Contract performance

An EPC, government or offtake contract requires a performance or advance payment guarantee to sign.

Facility approval

A lender is willing to fund but wants additional credit support or a guarantee behind the borrower.

Project development

Developers need bid bonds, completion support or standby cover at financial close.

Supplier terms

Moving a supplier from prepayment to open account terms with a standby behind the payment obligation.

Short trade cycles

Single shipments or repeat cycles where support is only needed for a defined window.

How It Works

From request to issued instrument

  1. Request a quote

    Tell us the instrument, face value, tenor, beneficiary and the underlying transaction.

  2. Review and terms

    We assess fit and send a tailored quote with scope, timeline and the documents we need.

  3. KYC and credit file

    We complete onboarding, then build the file issuers need: contracts, financials, structure and repayment.

  4. Issuer and wording

    We approach suitable issuers and agree draft wording with the beneficiary before anything is issued.

  5. Issuance

    The issuer releases the instrument through the banking channel the beneficiary requires.

  6. Term management

    We stay on the file for amendments, extensions and release at maturity.

FAQ

Quick answers

Does Financely issue the instrument?

No. The bank, insurer or collateral provider issues it under its own underwriting. We structure the transaction, prepare the credit file and run the process.

How is pricing set?

Pricing depends on the instrument, face value, tenor, issuer, beneficiary requirements and the risk profile of the deal. Every engagement is quoted individually after we review your request.

Is issuance guaranteed?

No. Issuance and beneficiary acceptance depend on underwriting, KYC, AML, sanctions screening and final documentation.

How long does it take?

Timelines depend on the instrument, the issuer and how complete your documentation is. We give you an estimated timeline with your quote.

Can an SBLC be monetized into cash?

We do not promise monetization. A lender decides on its own whether to accept an SBLC as credit support for a facility.

Do you do MT799 to MT760 or trading programs?

No. We only work on real transactions with a real applicant, beneficiary and regulated issuer.

Have a real deal that needs credit support?

Share the instrument, amount, tenor and beneficiary. We will review the requirement and come back with a tailored quote.
