Letters of Credit (LC, SBLC, DLC, UPAS, Confirmed LC)

Financely arranges large-ticket letters of credit across commodities, industrial goods, and structured trade flows. We act on paid mandates only, managing issuance, confirmation, discounting, and syndication. Our process is built on enforceable LC wording, sanctions/KYC clearance, and control of goods, documents, and cash. Any securities-related steps are conducted through our licensed chaperone.

“Financely delivered our LC issuance and confirmation within the agreed timeline. Their operators understood both banking requirements and our commodity flow — it saved us weeks of negotiation.”
