5) Frequently Asked Questions
Is a POF a commitment to lend
No. A POF or BCL confirms balances or banking capacity for a defined purpose. It is not a loan, not a guarantee, and not a promise to fund a transaction.
What is the difference between MT199 and MT799
MT199 is a free-format bank-to-bank message used to convey comfort or information. MT799 is a structured pre-advice that signals intent ahead of an instrument like an LC or SBLC. Neither is a payment, neither is a guarantee by itself.
Can you issue to a personal account or for visas
No. We only handle commercial POF for corporate purposes tied to a real transaction or contract. Personal and immigration requests are declined.
Do you accept crypto to pay fees
No. Fees are payable through approved fiat channels only.
How long does it take
Simple letters take 2 to 5 business days after KYC and fee. MT messages typically take 3 to 10 business days depending on bank setup and RMA.
Will this guarantee my deal closes
No. A POF reduces uncertainty and meets a document condition. The counterparty still makes its own credit decision.
What wording can I request
Wording must be factual, purpose-tied, and compliant with provider policy. We will reject language that reads like a guarantee or misrepresents capacity.
Is the fee refundable if the counterparty changes their mind
No. Once drafting begins, work is performed and fees are non refundable. If issuance fails for a provider reason, we will either remedy or cancel without further charge.
Do you provide SBLCs or BGs
We can arrange introductions to lenders for SBLC-backed facilities under separate mandates. We do not sell or “lease” instruments.
Can I use this to “monetize” funds
No. We do not engage in monetization programs or high-yield schemes.
We are an arranger, not a bank. All services are subject to KYC, AML, and sanctions screening. Messages are delivered bank-to-bank or on provider letterhead that counterparties can verify. Fees cover drafting and issuance coordination and are not contingent on third party approvals. We do not participate in screen-only confirmations, Telegram deals, or any offer that claims guaranteed funding outcomes.
