Frequently Asked Questions

Is an SBLC Different From a Demand Guarantee?

Both are independent undertakings. SBLCs are letters of credit typically governed by ISP98. Demand guarantees are usually under URDG 758 if specified. We can structure either based on beneficiary preference.

Can an SBLC Be Confirmed?

Yes. A confirming bank adds its own irrevocable undertaking. This improves payout certainty and may allow discounting of proceeds in some cases.

Should I Choose ISP98 or UCP600 for a Standby?

ISP98 is designed for standbys and cleanly handles extend or pay, transfer, and notices. UCP600 is acceptable if the counterparty insists. We recommend ISP98 unless the beneficiary mandates another set.

Request SBLC Terms

We arrange ISP98 SBLCs that counterparties accept. You receive bankable wording with simple demand language, a fit for jurisdiction issuer, optional confirmation by a first class bank, and hands on execution from draft to SWIFT MT760 and expiry control. Share your contract, preferred text, amount, expiry, KYC, and financials and we will revert with eligibility, pricing bands, and a direct path to issuance.

Request Indicative Terms

Financely acts as advisor and arranger on a best efforts basis. We are not a bank. All transactions are subject to KYC and AML, sanctions screening, credit approval, legal documentation, and capacity from counterparties. Nothing here is a commitment to lend or an offer of securities. Terms vary by bank names, jurisdictions, and documentary quality.
