Bank Guarantees that are received under Collateral Transfer facilities can be used by the recipient secure Lines of Credit at a bank. A bank typically will have no objection to offering credit against a Bank Guarantee which is received in this manner. Lending can be up to 100% of face value, less the advance of interest charged, and bank fees associated. However, typical lending rates are presumed to be between 80-90% of face value. The total term of credit can be for the duration of the Guarantee, between 1 – 5 years and will not exceed the expiry of the Guarantee.

These types of Guarantees are issues under facilities worded specifically to secure Lines of Credit. They are issued under ICC 758 protocol, which are a strict set of rules that cover all types of Guarantee and other payments. Guarantees are readily accepted by all international and private banks under this protocol and are often referred to as a Letter of Guarantee, Credit Facilities Guarantees or Standby Letters of Credit.

It is important to note that although the Bank Guarantee is through Collateral Transfer facilities, this has no bearing on the quality of the Guarantee and can still be used to raise credit and loans. As the verbiage of the Guarantee will be ICC758 standard approved wording, there is no mention of ‘lease’ within the instrument itself.

What fees apply?

When applying for a Guarantee to secure Lines of Credit and loans, interest charges will apply in addition to the Contract Fee, which is for the rental fee of the Bank Guarantee. In our experience, international bank lending rates for loans secured against high quality security, tend to be in the region of 3% per 12-month term, possibly more. This cost will differ depending on jurisdictions and currencies.

These facilities suit financial requirements for terms under 5 years or where returns are high, allowing higher expenditure on annual rates. The longer the term, the less suited Collateral Transfer facilities are and therefore we discourage terms in excess of 5 years, although they are achievable.

SBLC( STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT) Monetisation

SBLC Monetisation The reason Standby Letters of Credit are leased is so that they may be monetised. SBLC Monetisation allows companies to obtain loans and lines of credit. A “Leased” Standby Letter of Credit will have the exact same features as a “Leased” Demand Bank Guarantee. The verbiage within the format will be exactly the same as a “Leased” Demand Bank Guarantee. This verbiage will be absolutely precise and exact. The “Leased” Standby Letter of Credit will be governed by ICC Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, (URDG 758). It will be payable on first demand. To monetise the Standby Letter of Credit the SBLC Provider will instruct their bank to transmit the instrument to the beneficiary’s bank. The beneficiary’s bank will apply the Standby Letter of Credit to their account. Once the beneficiary has taken ownership of the Standby Letter of Credit they can apply for credit facilities. They can approach their bank and offer the instrument as security against a loan or line of credi...

SBLC STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT LEASE

Image
  Collateral Transfer  It is a known fact that banks have been reducing their loan books for years. Thus, today it is so much harder for companies to obtain loans and lines of credit. In Switzerland we are lucky to have one of the market leaders in Collateral Transfer. Collateral Transfer is the means by which a company seeking credit facilities can obtain a SBLC “Lease.” Two parties, the SBLC Provider and another company, (referred to as the beneficiary), will sign a Collateral Transfer Agreement. The SBLC Provider agrees to “lease” to the beneficiary, usually for one year, a Standby Letter of Credit. The beneficiary agrees to pay the SBLC Provider a fee for “leasing ” the Standby Letter of Credit. This is referred to as the Collateral Transfer Fee.
