FAQ

Do you issue SBLCs directly
Issuance is through licensed banks. We coordinate end to end, arrange and post collateral, and manage wording and delivery so the instrument is accepted by the beneficiary.
Can the SBLC be issued by a bank in our country
Where available, yes. We work to issue through banks with local or regional branches so acceptance and operations are smoother for your counterparties.
Which rules do you use
ISP98 is our default for standbys. If the beneficiary prefers UCP600, we align the wording. For guarantees requested as demand guarantees, we use URDG forms.
How long does issuance take
With complete KYC, final wording, and a selected bank, issuance can complete in a short cycle. Complex jurisdictions, confirmation, or special evidence may take longer. Timelines are set in the term sheet.
Who posts collateral
Financely arranges and posts collateral directly or through a designated SPV. Release mechanics and step downs are documented before issuance.
Can you add confirmation
