LC Confirmation, Issuance and Discounting Brokerage

LC Confirmation, Issuance and Discounting Brokerage

Letters of Credit are the backbone of international trade. Without the right issuing, confirming, and discounting partners, deals stall, counterparties hesitate, and shipments remain exposed. Financely brokers enforceable LC structures with banks that have appetite for real transactions. We handle issuance from buyer-side banks, secure confirmations from A-rated institutions, and place discounting lines so beneficiaries receive liquidity on time.

“They matched us with a confirming bank and discounted our LC proceeds within 48 hours. The trade would have failed without it.”
