Financely assists companies that require a standby letter of credit by underwriting the transaction, structuring the file, packaging the documentary case, and placing the opportunity with the relevant bank, lender, liquidity provider, or collateral support counterparty.
This is not a mail-order instrument service. A serious SBLC request starts with a properly underwritten file. That remains true whether the client already has acceptable collateral or first needs help raising it.
Our role is to evaluate whether the transaction is real, documentable, commercially rational, and suitable for placement. We do the underwriting and packaging work that serious counterparties expect before they commit issuance capacity, collateral support, or capital.
If the client already has collateral, the issuing bank still wants a properly structured and properly underwritten file. If the client does not yet have sufficient collateral, any lender, liquidity provider, or equity investor considering support will still want the same thing: a properly underwritten file with a real transaction, real parties, clear purpose, and a credible repayment or reimbursement path.
Financely assists with:
We do not circulate raw requests. Files are screened, structured, and positioned before counterparties are approached.
We are not offering “buy or lease” SBLC inventory. Real issuance depends on underwriting, compliance, collateral, and bank approval.
We work on genuine corporate transactions with identifiable obligations, real documentation, and clients ready to complete paid onboarding.
We only engage where there is a real commercial requirement and enough substance to underwrite the case properly.
| Service Scope | Financely provides underwriting, structuring, packaging, and placement support for clients seeking SBLC-related solutions. Our work covers transaction analysis, collateral path review, documentary preparation, counterparty positioning, and placement coordination. We do not market SBLCs as pre-manufactured products available for simple purchase or lease. |
| Issuing And Confirmation Standard | SLOCs arranged through Financely are placed through major international banking groups, typically within the top 100 global banks by scale and market presence. Where the instrument is not already issued by a top 20 global bank, confirmation may be sought through a top-tier correspondent or confirming bank acceptable to the beneficiary. This helps address beneficiary credit preference, jurisdictional comfort, and documentary acceptance. |
| Examples Of Banks Commonly Used | Depending on transaction size, jurisdiction, beneficiary requirements, and live bank appetite, Financely routinely works with issuance paths involving banks such as China Construction Bank, Hang Seng Bank, and Standard Chartered, among others. Final bank selection always depends on the specific file, wording, compliance path, and beneficiary acceptance. |
| Eligible Applicants | Operating companies, project sponsors, contractors, traders, importers, exporters, and special purpose vehicles with identifiable obligations, including:
|
| Minimum Transaction Size | Financely handles SBLC-related mandates from USD 5,000,000 minimum. Smaller requests are generally outside scope unless expressly accepted in writing. |
| If Client Already Has Collateral | Even where cash margin, securities, receivables, inventory support, guarantee support, or another acceptable collateral route already exists, the bank still requires a properly underwritten file. Collateral alone does not make a request bankable. The transaction purpose, wording, compliance path, beneficiary profile, and reimbursement logic must still be screened and packaged correctly. |
| If Client Needs Collateral Raised | Where the client lacks sufficient eligible collateral, any lender, liquidity provider, or equity investor considering support will require a properly underwritten case. The file must clearly show the commercial rationale, risk allocation, collateral gap, controls, and reimbursement path before third-party support can be evaluated. |
| Instrument Size And Validity | Typical issuance sizes range from approximately USD 5 million to USD 150 million per transaction. Validity commonly ranges from 90 days to 12 months, subject to contract requirements, collateral tenor, and bank underwriting limits. |
| Pricing Basis | Bank issuance commissions, confirmation fees, SWIFT charges, legal fees, custody fees, collateral management costs, and third-party compliance charges are quoted on a transaction-specific basis. These are separate from Financely underwriting, structuring, and placement fees unless stated otherwise in the engagement letter. |
| Retainer If Collateral Is Already Available | USD 37,500 engagement retainer for underwriting, structuring, bank approach, and issuance placement coordination where the client already has a credible collateral route in place. This retainer is paid upfront before substantive work begins and is separate from bank and third-party costs. |
| Mandate If Collateral Must Be Raised | USD 30,000 upfront mandate for underwriting, structuring, and placement preparation where the client first needs collateral support raised or arranged. This covers analysis, packaging, support-structure development, and coordination with potential lenders, liquidity providers, or equity investors. If the file later proceeds to issuance, a separate issuance engagement or amended letter may apply. |
| Initial Review Fee Through RFQ | Clients entering through the RFQ route must pay a USD 500 initial review fee. That fee is tied to intake, screening, preliminary file review, and issuance of the appropriate engagement letter where the matter is accepted. |
Financely does not accept requests to underwrite, structure, package, and place SBLC or collateral-support transactions on a no-upfront-fee basis.
That position is straightforward. Serious transactions require real work before any bank, lender, liquidity provider, or investor is approached. The work typically includes transaction analysis, documentary review, counterparty screening, beneficiary and jurisdiction assessment, collateral path review, support-structure design, packaging, commercial positioning, compliance coordination, and multiple rounds of revision as counterparties respond.
This is not a light referral exercise and it is not a volume email blast. A credible file must be built properly before placement has any real chance of success.
Clients seeking serious execution usually understand that underwriting-led advisory work is a professional service with real labor, real judgment, and real opportunity cost behind it. For that reason, Financely works on a paid-engagement basis only.
USD 500 Initial Review Fee
Suitable for clients who want Financely to review the case first and issue the appropriate engagement letter based on the file, structure, and collateral position.
Client Proceeds Directly To Payment
Suitable for clients ready to proceed immediately under the relevant service route. Proof of payment and the transaction file must then be sent to payments@financely-group.com.
If a client is introduced under an introducer agreement with Financely, that introduction does not bypass our intake, underwriting, screening, or engagement process.
The introduced client must still follow the standard intake route through our RFQ form, pay the USD 500 initial review fee, and provide the required KYC, transaction summary, and supporting documents so we can assess eligibility and issue the appropriate engagement letter.
As an alternative, the client may proceed directly through the payment page for the relevant service and then send proof of payment together with the transaction file to payments@financely-group.com.
No introducer relationship authorizes a client to skip intake, skip underwriting, or move directly to bank or investor approach without formal onboarding.
Clients who want Financely to review the case first may submit through our RFQ form at this SBLC RFQ form.
Clients ready to proceed directly may use our payment page at https://www.financely-group.com/bank-details.
After payment, proof of payment and the transaction file should be sent to payments@financely-group.com.
Are you selling or leasing SBLCs?
No. Financely does underwriting, structuring, packaging, and placement. We do not market SBLCs as mail-order instruments.
What type of banks are used for issuance?
We target major international banking groups, typically within the top 100 globally, and where needed seek confirmation through top-tier correspondent or confirming banks if the issuing bank is not already within the top 20 global tier acceptable to the beneficiary.
Which banks do you commonly see on issuance paths?
Depending on the file, common names may include China Construction Bank, Hang Seng Bank, and Standard Chartered, among others. Final routing always depends on the transaction and beneficiary requirements.
Why is underwriting needed if we already have collateral?
Because collateral alone does not make a file acceptable. Banks still need a properly documented, properly structured, and compliant transaction case.
Why is underwriting needed if we need to raise collateral first?
Because any lender, liquidity provider, or investor will want to assess a real underwritten case before committing support.
Do you accept no-upfront-fee mandates?
No. The work required to underwrite, structure, package, and place these transactions is substantial, front-loaded, and professional in nature. We therefore work on a paid-engagement basis.
What is your minimum transaction size?
Our minimum target size is USD 5,000,000.
What is the fee if we already have collateral?
The retainer is USD 37,500 for underwriting, structuring, and placement toward bank issuance.
What is the fee if we need help raising collateral?
The mandate starts at USD 30,000 for underwriting, packaging, and placement toward the relevant support counterparty.
If we were referred by an introducer, can we skip the intake process?
No. Referred clients must still submit via the RFQ form, pay the USD 500 initial review fee, and complete onboarding before any engagement letter is issued. They may also pay directly on the payment page and email proof of payment and the file to payments@financely-group.com.
Can we pay directly instead of waiting for the RFQ route?
Yes. Clients may pay directly on the relevant payment page and then upload or email proof of payment, together with the transaction file, to payments@financely-group.com.
This term sheet is not a promise to issue, sell, lease, confirm, or fund any instrument. Any mandate is accepted on a best-efforts basis unless expressly stated otherwise in the executed engagement letter. No SBLC solution exists without underwriting, compliance clearance, counterparty acceptance, and documentary support. Fake transactions, unverifiable parties, circular flows, sanctions exposure, and speculative instrument-shopping requests are declined.
Clients may follow the RFQ route and pay the USD 500 initial review fee to receive an engagement letter, or proceed directly through the payment page and email proof of payment and supporting documents to payments@financely-group.com.
