How the structure delivers credit enhancement
We map counterparties, exposures, and cash flows, then set amount, tenor, reduction plan, and any confirmation. The term sheet states security, pricing, and a dated timetable.
We form an SPV if needed, open operating and collection accounts, and document control agreements. Margin is optimized through pledged deposits, receivables, inventory, and guarantees acceptable to the issuer.
We align wording line by line, complete KYC and sanctions checks, select the issuing bank, and, where required by the beneficiary, send MT799 after conditions are satisfied.
Issuer releases MT760. We track advising, confirmation, any amendments, and reduction or cancellation at expiry. Evidence of delivery is stored in the deal file.
Collateral and control options
- * Partial cash or pledged term deposit
- * Assigned receivables or offtake with collection control
- * Inventory under control agreements or warehouse receipts
- * Sponsor or parent guarantee for a defined slice
- * Escrow and account control with automated sweeps
- * Political or performance insurance where relevant
- * Issuance via top banks subject to approval
- * Advising or confirmation at A rated banks when required
- * ISP98 wording mirrored line by line
Pricing and timeline
Time based SBLC commission plus an arranger fee sized to collateral quality, tenor, and issuer feedback. Legal, KYC, courier, and government charges are pass through.
Cash margin can be reduced with strong collateral and enforceable controls. Final advance rate depends on counterparties and structure.
Underwriting and term sheet, SPV and accounts, documentation and KYC, then MT760 issuance. Dates are fixed at mandate and tracked to the day.
SBLC for credit enhancement FAQ
Often yes when the lender credits the standby as additional security. Pricing and limits remain lender decisions and depend on the structure.
Do you issue without any cash margin?Support is always required. We minimize cash by combining pledged deposits with receivables, inventory, guarantees, and account controls accepted by the issuer.
Is this a leased SBLC?No. We do not arrange leased instruments. Issuance is genuine and MT760 is operative for a real commercial purpose.
Top banks subject to credit and compliance. Names are disclosed at mandate with draft wording and conditions.
Can you add confirmation?Yes when the beneficiary requires it and capacity exists. Advising and confirmation can be arranged with an A rated bank.
What rules apply?ISP98 is standard unless the beneficiary requests UCP 600 or URDG 758 for a specific tender or warranty case.
Refund guarantee
