A reputable confirming bank adds its undertaking. Funding proceeds after compliant presentation. Bank default risk sits with the funder. Eligibility is tighter and margin reflects risk transfer.
Funding proceeds after compliant presentation. If the LC bank fails to pay for reasons unrelated to your presentation, you reimburse the funder. Wider availability and more competitive pricing.
Usance payable at sight provides sight payment to the supplier while the issuing bank repays over time. The defined repayment path improves approval speed and pricing predictability for discounting.
Assume face value of 1,000,000, tenor of 120 days, discount margin of 7.0 percent per annum, arrangement fee of 1.0 percent flat, and a reserve of 10 percent released at maturity if paid. Time fraction equals 120 divided by 360 which is 0.3333. Discount interest equals 1,000,000 multiplied by 0.07 multiplied by 0.3333 which is 23,333. The arrangement fee is 10,000. The reserve holdback is 100,000. Day one proceeds are approximately 866,667. At maturity the reserve of 100,000 is released. Total proceeds are approximately 966,667. The period cost is approximately 33,333 plus third party charges. Pricing improves with stronger banks, shorter tenor, clean performance, and program volume.
It is the conversion of future LC proceeds into immediate liquidity following compliant presentation under UCP600 or ISP98.
Not in all cases. Confirmation can support without recourse and sharpen pricing. With recourse structures may be available on strong unconfirmed LCs when bank and country risk are acceptable.
Settlement across the banking chain includes operational lag. Minimum interest days cover that period for repayment certainty.
In limited cases under an exception procedure. Proceeds may be held in a controlled account until originals and acceptances are validated by authenticated SWIFT.
Unless hedged, the beneficiary bears FX risk. Funding and repayment usually follow the LC currency.
Clean files with agreed assignment language can fund a few business days after presentation. Complex wording or discrepancies extend timelines.
