DLC MT700 Issued in 5 Days, Flat $10,000, Refund Guaranteed
You have the contract signed and the beneficiary is waiting. Nothing moves until the documentary credit lands in their bank's inbox. Every extra week of delay puts the deal, the relationship and your margin at risk.
We do one thing: we take a complete transaction file and turn it into an issued, authenticated DLC MT700 through a regulated issuing bank. One flat fee of USD 10,000. No arrangement fee, no success charge, no hidden line items at closing. If the credit is not issued, you are refunded in full.
Confirmation PaymentUSD 500 (credited against total)
Balance on IssuanceUSD 9,500
Typical Timeline~5 business days from cleared file
Total Flat FeeUSD 10,000, refund guaranteed
What you actually get
Not "advisory". Not "an introduction". You are buying a delivered instrument, on a fixed date, at a fixed price, with someone accountable for the wording, the compliance file and the issuance itself.
A credit your beneficiary cannot argue with
An MT700 issued by a regulated bank, authenticated by SWIFT, with wording matched to your contract and to the beneficiary bank's requirements. No rejection loops, no re-drafting after issuance, no renegotiation of the shipment window while the cargo waits.
Speed that keeps the deal alive
A complete file typically reaches issuance in about five business days. You stop losing weeks to credit queues and stop explaining to a counterparty why the credit has not arrived. On a live commodity or equipment deal, that speed is the difference between closing and losing.
Compliance and KYC handled by people who do it daily
Ownership charts, source of funds, sanctions screening and the transaction narrative are prepared properly before submission. Your file does not die in a compliance queue for a reason nobody explained, and the issuing bank sees a package it can actually approve.
One named adviser from intake to delivery
A single adviser owns your file end to end and stays on it through amendments, extensions and any change to the beneficiary or amount. You get direct answers, not a ticket number, and you never have to re-explain the transaction to a new team.
How issuance works
Five stages from your upload to an authenticated MT700 in the beneficiary's hands. The review at stage two is free, so nothing is paid until we have told you in writing that the transaction is issuable.
1. Your file
Contract and details uploaded
2. Review
Compliance and eligibility
3. Contract
$500 confirms and releases it
4. Issuance
Bank issues the MT700
5. Delivery
Authenticated to beneficiary
Fixed Price
USD 10,000 flat. The $500 confirmation is credited against it, so the total stays at USD 10,000.
Refund Guarantee
If the credit is not issued, all fees paid to us are refunded in full under the engagement terms.
1
Upload the contract or LOI plus beneficiary details
2
We run compliance and confirm the transaction is issuable
3
You pay $500, receive the contract and approve wording
4
The partner bank issues the MT700
5
Authenticated delivery, balance settled on issuance
The clock starts when the file is complete: signed contract, beneficiary bank details, agreed wording and cleared compliance. Most files reach issuance in about five business days from that point.
Who we issue for
If your deal is bankable and the documentation is real, we can usually place it. Select a profile to see how we approach it.
Importers buying against open account terms
A supplier in another market wants payment security before shipping, and your local bank either will not issue or is taking too long. We structure the credit terms, prepare the wording and coordinate issuance through a partner bank that will accept the transaction.
Typical transactions:
consumer goods, machinery, raw materials on CIF or FOB terms.
What we underwrite:
supplier terms, shipping timeline, buyer financials, documentary requirements.
Instrument:
irrevocable DLC (MT700), confirmed DLC, transferable DLC where required.
Traders working back to back
You hold a master credit from your buyer and need a matching credit to your supplier, with document terms that satisfy both sides on first presentation. We mirror the document set and shipment terms so the same documents can be used at each link.
One cargo of grain, metal or energy product needs a credit issued quickly, with quality, quantity and shipping tolerances drafted correctly. We draft the clauses commodity beneficiaries actually require and place the credit with a bank that knows the sector.
Typical transactions:
grains, metals, energy products, agricultural commodities.
What we underwrite:
inspection certificates, tolerance clauses, shipment windows, end-buyer credit.
Instrument:
DLC (MT700), revolving DLC, back-to-back structures where applicable.
Buyers behind equipment and project contracts
A capital equipment or EPC contract needs a credit with staged shipment, partial drawings and a validity period that runs past delivery. We draft the drawing schedule and validity mechanics, and manage amendments as milestones move.
Typical transactions:
heavy equipment, EPC contracts, industrial supply agreements.
What we underwrite:
milestone schedule, partial drawing rights, warranty period coverage.
Instrument:
DLC (MT700) with partial shipment and drawing clauses, extensions as required.

The refund guarantee
You are buying an outcome, so the risk of that outcome should not sit entirely with you. The guarantee is simple and it is written into the engagement letter, not buried in a footnote.
Full refund if we cannot issue
If the MT700 is not issued, every fee paid to us for the issuance service is refunded in full within the period stated in your contract. No chasing, no staged excuses, no request for a second engagement to recover the first.
No fee at all if the file is declined at review
We tell you before you pay anything. The review at stage two is free, and we would rather decline the mandate at intake than take a fee for a transaction that cannot close.
What sits outside the guarantee
The guarantee covers issuance, not beneficiary acceptance. Acceptance is a documentary matter, and our wording review is designed to prevent rejection before it happens. Files built on inaccurate or altered documents fall outside the engagement.
What sits outside the fee
Any charge levied directly by the issuing bank, such as its own issuance or SWIFT charges, and any external legal opinion you choose to commission. We tell you these in writing before you commit, never as a surprise at closing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the USD 10,000 really the total cost?
Yes. USD 10,000 is the flat fee for the issuance service described on this page, inclusive of structuring, wording, bank placement, compliance support and issuance. There are no additional or hidden fees from us and no percentage charge based on the face value of the credit.
Is the USD 500 an extra fee on top of the USD 10,000?
No. The USD 500 confirms your file and releases your contract, and it is credited against the USD 10,000. The total you pay for the issuance service stays at USD 10,000.
How does the refund guarantee work?
If we cannot secure issuance of your MT700, every fee you have paid to us is refunded in full and no balance is due. The guarantee does not apply where a file is built on documents that are inaccurate, altered or withheld.
How fast is "about five business days" in practice?
The count starts when the file is complete and compliance is cleared. Simple, well documented transactions have been issued inside that window. Complex structures, unfamiliar jurisdictions or wording disputes take longer, and we tell you at intake if your file falls into that group.
Do you issue the MT700 yourself?
No. Financely is an advisory and arranging firm, not a bank. The MT700 is issued by a regulated partner bank and delivered by authenticated SWIFT to the advising bank named in the credit. We confirm the proposed issuer before you pay the balance, so you know whose paper your beneficiary will receive.
What documents should I attach to the RFQ?
At minimum, a signed contract, purchase order or letter of intent, plus the beneficiary's name, bank and required wording. The form lets you upload two files. Anything else, such as corporate and KYC documents, can follow by email once we open your file.
This page is for general information only and does not constitute legal, financial or banking advice. Issuance of a documentary letter of credit is subject to the issuing bank's credit approval, KYC and sanctions clearance, and the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Timelines are indicative and begin once a complete file has cleared compliance. The refund guarantee, the USD 10,000 flat fee, the USD 500 confirmation payment and any third party bank charges are governed by your signed engagement letter, which prevails in the event of any conflict with this page. Financely is an advisory and arranging firm, not a bank, and does not itself issue letters of credit.
