SBLC Procedure

Jan 10, 2024

A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a financial instrument that ensures payment to a seller in the event of a buyer's default. It's a commonly used tool in international trade, but its benefits extend to domestic transactions as well. If you're considering obtaining an SBLC, Financely is here to guide you through the process.


Step 1: Request a Consultation


Our team of experts is here to answer your questions and assess your SBLC needs. Contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific requirements and expectations.


Step 2: Provide Information


To initiate the process, gather relevant information about your business, the transaction, and the intended purpose of the SBLC. This includes:


  • Company profile and financial statements
  • Details of the transaction and the beneficiary
  • Desired amount and tenor of the SBLC


Step 3: Bank Selection


Financely has a network of reputable banks worldwide, ensuring you access the best options for your SBLC needs. We'll carefully select a bank that aligns with your criteria, including their reputation, experience in SBLCs, and pricing.


Step 4: Payment Terms Negotiation


We'll negotiate favorable payment terms that suit your budget and preferences. Options include fixed-term payments, flexible repayment schedules, and tailored interest rates.


Step 5: Collateral Assessment


SBLCs typically require collateral to secure the bank's risk. If you have insufficient collateral, Financely can assist you in arranging funding or asset financing.


Step 6: Documentation Completion


Once the terms are agreed upon, you'll need to complete the necessary documentation, including the SBLC application, creditworthiness verification, and any additional requirements stipulated by the bank.


Step 7: SBLC Issuance


Upon successful completion of all steps, the bank will issue the SBLC to the beneficiary, ensuring payment in case of a buyer's default.
