In commercial transactions, counterparties often request written reassurance that a buyer maintains an active banking relationship. A bank comfort letter serves that purpose. It provides confidence, but it does not replace binding instruments such as guarantees, standby letters of credit, or confirmed proof of funds.
States that the client maintains an account with the issuing bank.
May confirm that the client is in good standing without disclosing balances.
Signals that the client is an established banking customer.
It does not bind the bank to release funds or honor payment obligations.

| Date | [Insert Date] |
| Re | Bank Comfort Letter for [Client Name] |
| Body | This letter is issued at the request of our client, [Client Name], who maintains an account relationship with our institution. We confirm that [Client Name] has been a customer of this bank since [Year]. Based on our records and subject to standard banking confidentiality obligations, the client maintains accounts in good standing. This letter is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a guarantee, commitment, or obligation on the part of this bank to provide financing or payment of any kind. Sincerely, Authorized Signatory [Bank Name] |
In transactions involving asset purchases, commodity trades, or project finance, counterparties often require stronger evidence of liquidity. A bank comfort letter only confirms relationship status. A proof of funds letter confirms that specific funds are available.
If a transaction requires formal liquidity confirmation, structured proof of funds documentation is typically required instead of a comfort letter.
| Feature | Bank Comfort Letter | Proof of Funds |
|---|---|---|
| Confirms Account Relationship | Yes | Yes |
| Confirms Specific Balance | Usually No | Yes |
| Creates Payment Obligation | No | No |
| Used For | Preliminary comfort | Transactional verification |
No. It does not create a payment obligation or financial commitment by the bank.
No. A guarantee creates a binding obligation. A comfort letter does not.
Typically not. Most banks avoid disclosing precise figures in comfort letters.
When the counterparty requires verified liquidity for a specific transaction amount.
For transactions requiring structured and verifiable liquidity confirmation, Financely supports compliant proof of funds issuance and transaction packaging.
