Fuel Trade Finance
EN590 Trade Finance Facilities for Physical Fuel Transactions
Financely arranges trade finance facilities for physical EN590 diesel transactions, including syndicated loan facilities, revolving credit facilities, documentary letters of credit (DLCs), and standby letters of credit (SBLCs).
We are not a bank and we do not issue instruments. We act as an advisor and arranger, preparing a lender-ready file and running lender decisioning through regulated counterparties.
If you have executed contracts, a defined logistics flow, and a realistic timeline, you can request indicative terms
and receive a clear execution path.
What “EN590 Trade Finance” Means in Practice
In legitimate commodity markets, “EN590 trade finance” is not a brand name or a gimmick. It is simply the credit and documentary infrastructure used to move physical fuel through a contracted chain: supplier to trader, trader to end buyer, and the logistics steps in between.
Lenders focus on documentation quality, counterparty strength, enforceable recourse, and control points that reduce diversion and non-performance risk. If those elements are missing, the transaction does not become financeable by asking for “no upfront fees” or “quick approvals.”
What we deliver:
a lender-ready underwriting package, a structured submission plan, and managed lender decisioning. If you want to see the exact workflow, review how our process works
before you submit.
Facilities We Arrange for EN590 Transactions
Revolving Credit Facilities
Revolving credit facilities (RCFs) are used when a borrower has repeatable trade flows and the lender can underwrite to an operating history, financial statements, and risk controls.
- Best for recurring liftings and repeat counterparties
- Often structured with covenants, reporting, and availability tests
- May include sublimits for LCs or SBLCs
Syndicated Loan Facilities
Syndicated trade facilities are used when the requested size exceeds a single lender’s appetite or when risk is distributed across multiple credit providers.
- Common for larger trade flows and tighter timelines
- Requires disciplined document control and consistent representations
- Credit approval is driven by the weakest link in the chain
Documentary Letters of Credit
Documentary letters of credit (DLCs) are used to pay against compliant documents. The bank pays when presentation requirements are met, subject to the LC terms.
- Best when documentary control is feasible
- Requires disciplined document preparation and presentation timelines
- Misaligned contract terms and LC terms cause delays or discrepancies
Standby Letters of Credit
SBLCs are contingent payment undertakings used to support performance or payment obligations. They are not funding, and they are underwritten as credit exposure.
- Used for performance security, payment backstops, or collateral substitution
- Commonly governed under ICC standards such as ISP98
- Collateral and recourse depend on the applicant profile and wording risk
Typical Transaction Use Cases
Back-to-Back Trading
Purchase and sale contracts are aligned so that margin and timing risk is controlled. Lenders will still stress test counterparty performance and document integrity.
Term Supply to Industrial Offtakers
A repeat buyer with stable demand can improve credit appetite, but only if payment terms, inspection terms, and delivery obligations are clean and enforceable.
What Lenders Actually Underwrite
Fuel deals get rejected for boring reasons: weak documents, inconsistent parties, missing corporate records, unrealistic timelines, unclear sources of repayment, and lack of control points.
Finance is not a reward for enthusiasm. It is a risk decision made against evidence.

E-E-A-T: How We Evaluate Deal Quality
Experience
We see the same failure modes repeatedly: mismatched contracts, missing KYC packs, unclear cash mechanics, and counterparties that cannot withstand screening. Our process is designed to surface these issues early.
Expertise
We translate trade flows into lender-ready files: credit narrative, transaction mechanics, document checklists, and risk controls. That is what drives credit decisions, not marketing language.
Authoritativeness
We run lender decisioning through regulated counterparties and established credit processes. Execution is checklist-driven and document-driven, with compliance screening as a gating step.
Trustworthiness
We do not promise approvals. We disclose scope and fees upfront, and we require complete documentation before lender submissions. If you want to understand terms and boundaries, review our refund policy
before engaging.

FAQ
Do you provide the fuel or act as a trader?
No. Financely is an advisor and arranger. We help structure and present lender-ready transactions to credit providers. We do not sell fuel and we do not take title.
Can you arrange an LC or SBLC without any underwriting?
No. Issuance is credit exposure for a bank. Underwriting, KYB/KYC, and sanctions screening are standard. Any party claiming “no underwriting” is not describing a credible process.
What is the minimum information needed to start?
Executed draft or signed contracts, requested facility type and amount, counterparties, incoterms, delivery window, and a basic corporate and financial pack. The deal portal will guide the rest.
Do you guarantee funding or approvals?
No. Lender decisions are independent and subject to underwriting, compliance, and definitive documentation. We do not promise approvals or funding.
Important:
Financely is not a bank, not a broker-dealer, and not a direct lender. We do not issue LCs, SBLCs, or guarantees. Any engagement is subject to underwriting, KYB/KYC, AML, sanctions screening, credit provider criteria, and definitive documentation.
