SBLC & Bank Guarantee under ISP98, URDG 758, UCP 600

Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC) and Bank Guarantees (BG) are the simple promise that keeps big transactions on track: if the applicant fails to perform or pay, the bank pays—subject to the terms. We handle the full job: correct ruleset, tight wording, bank selection, compliance, SWIFT delivery, and— where the applicant can’t park full cash cover —we can introduce collateral providers to support issuance, subject to underwriting.

Straight talk: Most SBLC/BG problems aren’t “bank appetite.” They’re sloppy terms and the wrong ruleset. We match structure to use case, lock the wording, and take it to banks that actually issue. If collateral is the hurdle, we explore approved security options—no theatrics, no leased-paper nonsense.

Rulesets—pick the right one or expect pushback

Ruleset Use it for Typical instrument Why counterparties care
ISP98 Payment/Performance standby needs SBLC (SWIFT MT760) Clear standby mechanics; widely accepted by banks and lawyers
URDG 758 Demand guarantees in projects/supply contracts Bank Guarantee / Demand Guarantee Demand procedures are standardized; fewer disputes on calls
UCP 600 Documentary credits tied to goods (trade LCs) Commercial LC (MT700); can be adapted for standbys if agreed Docs-driven; fits goods shipments and documentary flows

Where this actually helps

  • Commodity & industrial supply: SBLC/BG to secure shipment or advance payments.
  • Projects & construction: Bid bonds, performance guarantees, advance payment guarantees, retention guarantees.
  • Structured credit: Credit enhancement to unlock better funding terms.

Our role (education + execution)

  • Scope & ruleset: Map the underlying contract, pick ISP98/URDG 758/UCP 600, and draft the key clauses right.
  • Bank & collateral: Introduce issuing banks. If required, line up collateral providers to support cash cover or eligible security— always subject to underwriting, compliance, and pricing.
  • Wording & approvals: Negotiate terms the beneficiary will accept. No vague triggers. No time bombs.
  • Delivery: Final checks, then SWIFT MT760/MT700 issuance from a regulated institution.
