MT799 RWA, Blocked Funds And MT760 Advisory

When a counterparty requests “MT799 RWA”, a blocked funds confirmation, or an MT760, the real question is simple. Can the transaction be underwritten, can the collateral be proven, and can an issuing bank support the instrument under policy and compliance.

Financely is a private debt advisory firm. We evaluate the transaction, assess available collateral, structure the capital stack, and approach lenders and equity investors that can fund required cash margin or support facilities. If the file is bankable, we coordinate issuance through regulated issuing banks via SWIFT, with clean documentation and controlled funds flow.

Financely is not a bank, not a lender, and not an insurer or surety. We do not “sell” SWIFT messages, screenshots, or templates. MT799 is a bank to bank free-format message and is not a financial instrument. MT760 is a SWIFT message type used by banks for guarantees or standby undertakings, issued only under bank approvals and documented facilities. All work is subject to eligibility, KYC and AML, sanctions screening, credit approval, and definitive agreements.

What We Do In This Advisory

Transaction And Counterparty Evaluation

We review the commercial contract, payment terms, delivery mechanics, and the identity of each counterparty. We check for bankability issues such as unverifiable buyers, ambiguous obligations, inconsistent documents, and unrealistic conditionality.

Collateral And Margin Strategy

We map what collateral exists, where it sits, who controls it, and what an issuer or lender will accept. If cash margin is required, we structure how it is funded, held, and released, including control accounts and escrow mechanics where relevant.

Private Debt And Equity Placement

We approach a targeted panel of lenders and professional investors to fund margin, provide bridge liquidity, or support working capital. The goal is to meet issuer requirements without breaking the operating cash position.

Issuer Placement And SWIFT Execution

Where an issuing bank is appropriate, we coordinate underwriting, wording, and issuance steps under the relevant rule set, including ISP98 for standby structures and URDG 758 where a demand guarantee framework is required. SWIFT issuance is performed only by the issuing bank.

Clarifying The Terms

What is “MT799 RWA” in practice?

MT799 is a free-format SWIFT message used between banks. In market chatter, “RWA” is often used as shorthand for a request for written advice or a status message. It is not a funding method and it does not move money. In legitimate workflows, banks may use MT799 to communicate non-binding status or clarifications between institutions.

What are “blocked funds” and what can be verified?

“Blocked funds” typically means cash collateral is placed under restricted control at a regulated institution, subject to documented terms. What matters is the account ownership, the restriction mechanics, who has control, the release conditions, and whether third-party reliance is permitted. If a party asks you to rely on a random letter without verification channels, the risk is high.

What is MT760 and what does it represent?

MT760 is a SWIFT message category used by banks for guarantees or standby undertakings. The message is not the deal by itself. The instrument is the bank’s undertaking, supported by the applicant’s facility, collateral, and approved wording. If the underwriting, collateral, and approvals do not exist, there is no credible path to issuance.

How Financely Runs The Engagement

1) Intake And File Triage

We collect the contract set, requested instrument details, parties, timeline, and the proposed funds flow. We identify immediate policy conflicts, compliance gaps, and missing materials.

2) Underwriting Pack Build

We prepare a lender and issuer-ready pack including transaction summary, collateral mapping, financial analysis, and a clean sources and uses schedule. We also align instrument purpose with the correct rule set and structure.

3) Capital Stack And Margin Funding

We structure options to fund cash margin or collateral requirements, including private debt, preferred equity, or sponsor support. Controls are defined upfront, including account control, escrow, and waterfall logic.

4) Issuer And Lender Placement

We approach a defined panel that fits ticket size, jurisdiction, and risk profile. Indications are collected in a comparable format. Shortlisted parties move to documented terms, not informal assurances.

What We Will Not Do

  • We do not provide “proof of funds” screenshots, template messages, or pre-advice theatrics.
  • We do not ask clients to rely on WhatsApp messages, Telegram groups, or unverifiable intermediaries.
  • We do not claim MT799 is a product, a guarantee, or a monetizable instrument.
  • We do not promise issuance without underwriting, KYC and AML, and issuer approvals.

Typical Use Cases We See

  • Trade finance margin gaps: the issuer requires cash margin, but the operating company needs external capital to preserve liquidity.
  • Performance security: a beneficiary requires a standby or guarantee style undertaking aligned to contract remedies and timelines.
  • Facility upgrade: a company needs to migrate from one-off instruments to a repeatable program with control accounts and reporting.
  • Collateral clarification: the sponsor has assets or cash, but the structure and control package do not pass issuer policy.

FAQ

Do you send MT799 messages?

No. MT799 is a bank to bank message. Only banks send SWIFT messages through their own systems. We advise on process, documentation, and bankability, then coordinate with regulated issuers when the file qualifies.

Is an MT799 proof of funds?

No. MT799 does not move money and it is not a funding instrument. Credible proof of capability is based on verifiable banking relationships, documented collateral, and a controlled funds flow under compliant terms.

Can you arrange blocked funds letters?

We can advise on legitimate cash collateral and control-account structures where a regulated institution is prepared to document restrictions under policy and compliance. We do not support unverifiable letters or “blocked funds for rent” narratives.

Can you guarantee an MT760 will be issued?

No. Issuance depends on the applicant, collateral, compliance, bank policy, and definitive documents. We provide best-efforts advisory and placement where the file can be supported.

What do you need to assess feasibility?

The underlying contract, parties and jurisdictions, requested instrument type and purpose, timeline, available collateral, financials, and a clear sources and uses schedule. If margin is required, we need to know how it will be funded and controlled.
