If you are asking for a standby letter of credit with “no upfront fees,” most serious counterparties hear one thing: you are not sponsor-ready. Before any SWIFT traffic is sent, there is paid work: KYC and AML checks, sanctions screening, counsel review, drafting, operational checks, and credit sign-off. Someone funds that work at the start, not “from proceeds later.”
1) No collateral, no credibility. A bank is not issuing a clean instrument for a stranger with no security, no audited capacity, and no verified source of funds.
2) Underwriting comes first. Credit teams validate the obligor, beneficiary, jurisdiction, enforceability, and wording before any meaningful bank-to-bank commitment is discussed.
3) “Pay at closing” is not a plan. “We will pay when the SBLC is issued” collapses when legal and compliance bills arrive before issuance.
4) KYC and AML are non-negotiable. UBO verification, source-of-funds, sanctions screening, and counterparty provenance must clear before anyone risks their name on the file.
5) SWIFT traffic is not the product. An MT760 is the endpoint. The value is the underwritten approval and enforceable documentation behind it.
6) The wording is where deals die. One sloppy clause can make an instrument unusable. That is why drafting, legal review, and operational checks happen early.
7) “Leased SBLC” is not a banking term. Banks issue, advise, confirm, amend. If your plan depends on “leasing,” assume you are in the wrong market.
8) Comfort letters are not marketing props. RWA or comfort letters, where used, follow diligence and internal approval. They are not handed out so a sponsor can “shop the deal.”
9) A standby does not replace sponsor equity. An SBLC can support a structure, it does not replace working capital, equity, or credible balance sheet support.
10) If you cannot fund diligence, you are not ready. Sponsors who refuse a reasonable diligence budget usually lose more through time, failed execution, and damaged credibility.
| Myth | Reality |
|---|---|
| “No upfront fees. Pay from proceeds.” | Legal, compliance, and structuring costs arrive before issuance. No funding, no workflow. |
| “Provider can guarantee approval.” | All mandates are best-efforts. Outcomes depend on underwriting, bank limits, and approvals. |
| “Rush an MT760 this week.” | Real files clear KYC, legal review, and operational checks first. Rushing triggers passes. |
| “Leased SBLC available.” | Not a standard banking product. If the concept is central, stop and reset. |
| “Just issue a letter so I can show my buyer.” | Bank communications follow internal sign-off and diligence. They are not sales collateral. |
Timelines depend on responsiveness and complexity. Expect weeks, not days. For practical expectations and how we run files, see our FAQs.
| Item | When Paid | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Advisory retainer | On mandate | Structuring memo, diligence mapping, legal and compliance workflow, and preparation for bank routing. |
| Third-party costs | Pre-issuance | Counsel drafting and review, compliance tooling, operational checks, and opinion work where needed. |
| Issuing or confirming bank fees | At issuance | Bank charges tied to tenor, risk, and operational handling, plus amendments if required. |
| Margin or collateral posting | Pre-issuance or at issuance | Cash or acceptable security that supports the contingent exposure. The level depends on credit and structure. |
If your end goal is trade execution, it often helps to understand the full credit chain. See our trade finance work to understand how SBLCs, documentary instruments, and secured facilities fit together in real underwriting.
