Letter of Credit Marketplace for Issuance, Confirmation, and Discounting

Letter of Credit Marketplace for Issuance, Confirmation, and Discounting

Real buyers need clean LCs. Real funders want documented risk with proper controls. Our marketplace connects both sides. We screen deals, standardize files, and match them to banks, confirming banks, and trade funds that can issue, confirm, or discount under workable terms. No gimmicks. No transferable SBLC “programs.” Only bankable files under UCP600 and ISP98 with evidence to back them.

Snapshot: One portal to issue LCs, add confirmation on riskier corridors, or discount accepted drafts for early cash. Files are screened, routes are workable, controls are documented, and pricing reflects real risk, not fairy tales.

Who We Serve

  • Importers and traders seeking LC issuance or confirmation to close supply deals and unlock terms with sellers.
  • Banks and confirming banks looking for clean LC flow with clear wording, compliant documents, and known corridors.
  • Trade funds and forfaiters that discount accepted drafts or LC-backed receivables with enforceable repayment.

Benefits For Buyers And For Funders

For Importers and Traders For Banks, Confirmers, and Trade Funds
Faster issuance with cleaner drafts, seller comfort from named confirmers, and the option to discount for early cash. Pre-screened flow, clear rules, workable corridors, and files that a credit team can clear without back and forth.
Better pricing over time due to consistent documents and lower dispute risk. Reduced noise. No fake programs. Only real buyers with contracts and a credible need for LC support.
Visibility on confirmation options for higher-risk routes to close seller objections. Clear economics on issuance, confirmation, and discounting with controls that hold up.

  • Uncontrolled documents or routes that block insurance and enforcement

How The Marketplace Works

  1. Intake. Buyer submits mandate, contracts, and draft wording. We run KYC and sanctions checks.
  2. Triage. Corridor, tenor, and document review. Bad fits are declined fast.
  3. Match. We route the file to banks, confirmers, or discounting funds with appetite for that exact profile.
  4. Term Sheet. Parties agree pricing, CPs, and presentation rules. We coordinate execution steps.
  5. Issue, Confirm, Discount. LC is issued, confirmation added where required, and accepted drafts can be sold for cash.
  6. Monitor. Presentation, collections, and waterfall tracked with clear reporting.

Financely is a marketplace and advisory firm. We are not a bank and we do not issue LCs ourselves. All opportunities are subject to independent KYC, sanctions checks, credit approval, and final documentation by the funding parties. We do not support transferable SBLC “programs” or schemes that promise fixed weekly returns. Availability depends on corridor, counterparty quality, and documentary standards. We reserve the right to decline files that do not meet screening criteria.
