Searching for reliable bank instruments to secure large trades, construction projects or real‑estate deals? You’re in the right place. In this guide we decode the most requested trade‑finance tools— Proof of Funds (POF), Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC), Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC), UPAS LC, Performance Bond and Advance Payment Guarantee —and outline how Financely Group arranges each instrument quickly and compliantly.
A Proof of Funds letter is a bank statement or SWIFT message confirming that a buyer has sufficient cash on hand for a transaction. For cross‑border trades it’s normally delivered as an MT199 or MT799 “Ready, Willing & Able” (RWA) letter.
An SBLC is an irrevocable bank guarantee—callable if the applicant defaults. Issued via SWIFT MT760 and governed by UCP 600 or ISP 98.
A DLC is a traditional trade LC paying on presentation of conforming documents. Transmitted as MT700/710.
UPAS LCs combine seller‑friendly sight payment with buyer‑friendly usance terms. The confirming bank discounts the drafts at sight; the buyer repays at maturity (30‑180 days).
A Performance Bond(or performance guarantee) obliges a bank to pay the project owner if the contractor fails to perform per contract. Common formats: MT760 or local bank guarantee wording.
An Advance Payment Guarantee protects the buyer’s upfront payment. If the supplier does not deliver, the bank refunds the advance.
Partial collateral structures (30%‑50%) are feasible when backed by insured receivables, warehoused goods, or strong corporate guarantees.
USD 1 million face value for DLCs and APGs; USD 2 million for SBLCs and Performance Bonds.
Yes. We can add confirmation via an investment‑grade bank to remove country or issuing‑bank risk.
POF letters in 3‑5 days; SBLCs, DLCs, UPAS LCs, Performance Bonds and APGs in 7‑21 working days, assuming complete documentation.
We only work with globally recognised banks (e.g., JPMorgan, Standard Chartered, CCB, BNP Paribas, HSBC) or strong regional names pre‑agreed with counterparties.
