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

  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.

Please check our older post about THE USES OF STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT (SBLC):  www.sblcbrokers.com Today we will be talking about  Letter of Credit and Bank Guarantee. Standby letters of credit and bank guarantees are both methods of providing assurance to a vendor of payment on credit. They are often used for international trade transactions where the financial risk is high. A bank guarantee is a commitment by a bank to pay its client’s obligation up to a certain amount, while standby letter of credit is a more formal document that details the obligations of both parties.  Standby Letter of Credit A standby letter of credit serves as a secondary payment method for a bank’s client should the client fail to pay the vendor an agreed-upon amount.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEASED SBLC OR AN OUTRIGHT SALE

  If you lease any financial instrument ( eg SBLC ) then that makes you a temporary holder of that particular document, usually up to one year and one day time period. Whereas if you purchase any financial instrument ( eg SBLC ) then you own that instrument outright with the added benefit of being able to lease the same instrument to a third party. SBLC lease, purchase and monetisation isn’t quite as straight forward as a simple definition, which is why you do need to consult financial experts that deal with this niche area in finance specifically.
