Bank Guarantee, SBLC & DLC Issuance Service For Corporate Clients
Bank Guarantee, SBLC & DLC Issuance Service For Corporate Clients
This page is for companies that need a real bank instrument issued for a live transaction, not paper promises. Typical use cases include performance guarantees on EPC contracts, advance payment guarantees, payment guarantees for commercial real estate, and documentary letters of credit on physical trade and project equipment.
The service focuses on one transaction at a time. We structure the required Bank Guarantee, Standby Letter of Credit, or Documentary Letter of Credit, prepare bank-ready wording and files, and coordinate approaches to banks and credit providers that issue under URDG 758, ISP98, and UCP 600 through regulated partners.
BG, SBLC & DLC Issuance Service for live corporate transactions. Fixed fee from USD 15,000
per mandate for one instrument, covering structure, drafting, and bank-facing application pack. Payment by bank transfer only via Financely bank details.
Final issuance, pricing, and limits are decided by banks and credit providers, not by Financely.
Who Should Use This BG / SBLC / DLC Issuance Service
Suitable Clients And Transactions
Mid to large corporates with signed or near-signed contracts requiring a Bank Guarantee or Standby Letter of Credit.
Project sponsors needing performance, completion, or warranty guarantees on EPC or O&M contracts.
Commercial real estate buyers and developers needing payment guarantees or performance support to counterparties.
Traders and industrials needing confirmed Documentary Letters of Credit for shipment of physical commodities or equipment.
Sponsors ready to share contracts, financials, KYC packs, and full transaction details for formal underwriting.
Outside Scope Of This Service
Requests for “leased” BGs or SBLCs with non recourse monetisation schemes.
Offers involving upfront fees on the bank side with no clear issuer or regulated counterparty.
Transactions with no underlying contract, invoice, or clear commercial purpose.
Clients unwilling to complete KYC, AML, and source of funds checks.
Sanctioned individuals, entities, or deals involving embargoed goods or prohibited jurisdictions.
Instrument Types And Rules We Work With
The service is built around standard international rules for demand guarantees, standby credits, and commercial letters of credit. This ensures that document wording and risk allocation make sense to serious banks and funds.
Bank Guarantees under URDG 758:
performance guarantees, advance payment guarantees, bid bonds, retention guarantees, and payment guarantees structured under the ICC Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (URDG 758).
Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC):
standby credits for performance and payment risk, typically issued under ISP98 or UCP 600, depending on bank preference and jurisdiction.
Documentary Letters of Credit (DLC):
commercial LCs for shipment of goods under UCP 600, including sight and deferred payment structures, with options for confirmation and discounting.
Related structures:
confirmed LCs, back-to-back credits, and fronting with funded or unfunded participation by credit providers, where bank policy allows.
The priority is clarity of terms, clean trigger conditions, and wording that credit committees are prepared to sign on a live deal, not template forms that ignore the underlying risk.
What The BG / SBLC / DLC Issuance Service Includes
Once the mandate fee is paid and the transaction documents are shared, the work is organised as a structured file that can go to potential issuing banks and credit providers.
Transaction review:
assessment of the underlying contract, counterparties, country risk, and commercial structure of the deal.
Instrument selection:
recommendation on whether a URDG 758 Bank Guarantee, ISP98 SBLC, or UCP 600 DLC is more appropriate for the risk and counterparties.
Draft wording:
drafting of the guarantee or LC text, including amount, expiry, claims language, governing rules, and governing law, aligned with bank practice.
Applicant file preparation:
summary of the applicant, financial profile, KYC pack list, and key risk mitigants for credit teams.
Term sheet outline:
non binding outline of requested pricing, collateral, cash cover or security, and any required counter indemnity.
Bank and provider approach:
targeted outreach to selected banks and credit providers active in BG, SBLC, or DLC issuance for similar tickets and sectors.
Clarification support:
handling of follow up questions from potential issuers, subject to timely responses from the client.
Support to term sheet stage:
assistance in comparing and negotiating non binding indications or term sheets received from issuers.
Legal documentation, final issuance, and account opening are handled directly between the client and the issuing bank or credit provider. The service focuses on structuring, documentation, and placement work up to term sheet stage.
Pricing, Mandate Scope, And Payment Terms
Pricing is designed to be explicit so that corporate clients can decide quickly whether to proceed. This page covers one live transaction and one primary instrument per mandate.
Service scope:
one Bank Guarantee, SBLC, or DLC for a single underlying transaction with one main counterparty.
Ticket size:
typically from USD 2 million up to around USD 50 million per instrument; larger sizes considered case by case.
Mandate fee:
from USD 15,000
per mandate, covering transaction review, structure, wording, application pack, and targeted approach to potential issuers.
Success-based economics:
where agreed, a separate success fee on issued instruments can be added, usually as a percentage of the face amount, payable at issuance.
Payment method:
mandate fee payable 100 percent in advance by bank transfer via the Financely bank details
page with the transaction reference.
Refund policy:
once work has started on structuring, drafting, or outreach, the mandate fee is earned and not refundable, regardless of issuer decisions.

timelines depend on data quality, issuer appetite, and jurisdiction. Typical runs from initial review to indications can range over several weeks.
Start A BG, SBLC Or DLC Issuance Mandate
If you have a live transaction that requires a Bank Guarantee, Standby Letter of Credit, or Documentary Letter of Credit and you are ready to pay for proper structuring and placement work, you can pay the mandate fee by bank transfer and share your contracts and KYC pack to begin the process.
Do you issue Bank Guarantees, SBLCs, or DLCs in your own name›
No. Financely is not a bank and does not issue instruments in its own name. All guarantees, standby credits, and documentary credits are issued only by regulated banks or credit providers that complete their own underwriting, KYC, and approvals. Our role is to structure the transaction and coordinate approaches through regulated partners.
Can you guarantee that a BG, SBLC, or DLC will be issued on specific terms›
No. Issuance, pricing, collateral, and conditions are decided only by the banks and credit providers that review the file. The service improves structure and presentation, but it cannot override credit policy or risk appetite. Any indication remains subject to full underwriting and formal documentation at issuer level.
Do you work with so called leased instruments or non recourse monetisation schemes›
No. The service does not cover leased BGs or SBLCs, non recourse monetisation programs, or structures that are not supported by mainstream banks and regulated credit providers. Focus is on instruments issued for genuine trade, project, and commercial real estate transactions backed by contracts and real counterparties.
What information do you need before starting work on an issuance mandate›
At minimum, you should expect to provide the underlying contract or draft, details of the beneficiary, required amount and expiry, jurisdiction and governing law, your company financials, group structure, KYC documents, and a short narrative of the transaction and risk mitigants. Without this level of detail, serious issuers will not proceed.
Can one mandate cover multiple instruments or multiple beneficiaries at once›
The standard mandate covers one primary instrument on one transaction. Where several related instruments are required for the same deal and same issuer, additional fees can be agreed upfront. Separate projects with different beneficiaries are normally treated as separate mandates with their own fees and issuer selection process.

Clients remain responsible for obtaining their own legal, tax, and accounting advice. Financely operates as a structuring and coordination platform through regulated partners and does not act as a bank, broker dealer, or fund manager.
