Frequently Asked Questions

Will ERCOT/NYISO/MISO/PJM accept a confirmed standby?

Where policy allows, a confirming bank can add its own irrevocable undertaking. We align the issuer and any confirmation to the market operator’s rules.

Can a landlord in these states take an SBLC instead of cash?

Many commercial landlords accept a standby that matches their wording and issuer criteria. We tailor text and issuer lineup to meet those policies.

How do workers’ comp self-insurance deposits work?

State regulators allow letters of credit with specific evergreen and draw provisions. We mirror those terms and secure an acceptable issuing bank.
