Letter of Credit Consultancy

Financely guides issuers and beneficiaries through standby, documentary, and usance letters of credit. We help select banks, draft clean wording under UCP 600, ISBP 745, or ISP 98, manage collateral asks, and prepare compliant presentations. The goal is simple. Keep goods moving and protect cash with tight terms. No em dashes are used in this document.

Snapshot: SBLC, DLC, and usance LC support. Bank shortlists and confirmation options. Wording and clause control. Document checks and discrepancy cures. Drawdown tracking and collateral release. Clear timelines and direct contact with trade desks.

The LC Process

Stage What Happens
Trade and Risk Review Map buyer, seller, route, and Incoterms. Select SBLC, DLC, or usance. Choose rule set and banks to approach.
Draft and Clause Control Write the text and schedules. Define documents, time for examination, presentation method, and governing rules.
Bank Path and Pricing Shortlist issuers and confirmers. Compare terms, fees, margin asks, and any conditions. Secure allocation.
Issuance and SWIFT Push operations to release MT700 for DLC or MT760 for SBLC. Verify fields and advise path with counterparties.
Documents and Presentation Prepare sets against the text. Pre check for common traps. Present on time by courier or e rules if stated.
Settlement and Release Track responses, cure or waive discrepancies, and confirm value date. Manage expiry, confirmations, and collateral release.

Drafting and Wording Support

We draft to UCP 600, ISBP 745, or ISP 98 as needed. The text names exact documents, presentation place, timelines, and who can sign what. For standbys, we build evidence lists so draws are objective and tested before issuance. This cuts disputes and shortens bank review time.

Bank Selection and Confirmation

We match jurisdiction and counterparty to the right issuer and, where required, a confirming bank. If a seller will not accept the issuer, we arrange confirmation at a bank they trust and align fees up front so there are no surprises at presentation.

Collateral and Working Capital

We negotiate margin down where financials and trade data allow. Where cash is tight, we assess other security the bank can accept and coordinate any short term bridge aligned to shipment or delivery milestones.

Document Checks and Settlement

Our team builds the document set with your ops. We check for common fails like expiry mismatch, late shipment, or ambiguous insurance wordings. If the bank raises discrepancies, we work the cure path fast and keep the draw on track.
