Proof of Funds

Proof of Funds - Commercial Transactions Only

Financely provides Proof of Funds (POF) for commercial counterparties only. This service is for corporate transactions where a buyer, bidder, or sponsor must evidence available funds for a contract condition, tender submission, counterparty onboarding, acquisition negotiations, or project award requirements.

We do not process POF requests for visas, immigration, personal purposes, or any use case that is not tied to a verifiable commercial requirement. Every request is screened for credibility, format fit, and compliance.

A $500 USD non-refundable RFQ review fee is required before our team begins processing. This covers document screening and provider routing. If your request qualifies, you receive a formal quote by end of day.

Submission Requirements

When completing the RFQ form, please provide:

• Full legal name and company name of the recipient
• Recipient address and contact email
• Whether you want the letter emailed directly to the recipient
• The commercial purpose and the exact wording your counterparty expects

Attach any supporting documents such as contract excerpts, tender instructions, RFPs, corporate registry extracts, or a short counterparty email confirming requirements. The cleaner the inputs, the faster we can quote and issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the POF state?

The letter confirms the availability of funds (and where applicable, eligible securities) in a regulated banking institution, in the client’s name or under the agreed structure, and that they are available for the stated commercial purpose. It is drafted to meet recipient expectations without creating unintended obligations.

Which bank will issue the POF?

Bank selection is driven by two things: where our liquidity providers have funds or securities parked, and the exact wording and jurisdiction your recipient requires. We match the issuing bank to what your counterparty will accept, then lock the format once compliance clears. We do not arrange Proof of Funds issuance from NBFCs or unregulated entities.

Routine issuing banks by region include:

North America: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank
South America: Itaú Unibanco, Banco do Brasil, Banco Bradesco
Europe: HSBC, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank
Africa: Standard Bank, FirstRand (Rand Merchant Bank), Ecobank
Asia: DBS, MUFG, ICBC
Oceania: Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac, ANZ

Can you tailor the wording for a specific recipient?

Yes. If your recipient is a government body, a state-owned entity, a major contractor, a Tier-1 corporate, or a regulated intermediary, we align the phrasing to their checklist. Share the required wording or the tender instruction page and we will mirror it in a bank-acceptable format.

How fast can this be issued?

Once your RFQ meets criteria and compliance clears, issuance can move quickly. The critical path is always the same: clean recipient details, clear wording requirements, and complete KYC. If any of those are missing, it slows down.

How long is the letter valid for?

Standard validity is 30 days. Extensions or re-issuance are available for an additional fee.

How does verification work?

Verification depends on the format selected. For bank letters, verification is typically handled through standard bank-to-bank contact channels. For SWIFT MT799, verification follows SWIFT messaging controls between institutions.

What jurisdictions are supported?

We can route issuance through regulated banks in the United States, European Union or United Kingdom, UAE, Singapore, and other approved jurisdictions based on the recipient requirement and where the liquidity is held. We do not route POF through NBFCs.
