Standby Letter of Credit Term Sheet

SBLC Issuance And Collateral Backing Term Sheet

Standby Letter Of Credit Issuance And Collateral Backing Term Sheet

Financely arranges and underwrites Standby Letter of Credit issuance for qualified corporates. When applicants do not have sufficient collateral, we structure and raise capital to back the facility. Bank internal fees such as SWIFT or regulatory costs are settled directly with the issuing bank or SPV and are not within our fee scope.

Capital Raising To Back Collateral

When applicants lack full collateral, Financely arranges capital raising to close the shortfall:
  • Receivables financing with assignment and lockbox accounts.
  • Inventory financing under warehouse or tank control arrangements.
  • Private credit bridge facilities secured by contracts and guarantees.
  • Equity contributions into escrow for cash margin requirements.
All pledges are scheduled, perfected, and documented with intercreditor terms to avoid double pledges.
