Compliance Notice

AltFunds Global is not a bank and does not issue SBLCs. We provide advisory services, documentation support, and introductions to vetted counterparties for potential monetization opportunities.


All outcomes — including timelines, approvals, and funding — depend entirely on the issuing bank, counterparties, and the completeness of client documentation.

Description

A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) should not sit dormant. Properly structured, it can unlock liquidity and give businesses the capital to seize opportunities and scale.

At AltFunds Global, we help clients facilitate liquidity through SBLC monetization by verifying authenticity, coordinating with counterparties, and managing compliance. Our role is not to issue or lend, but to ensure your instrument works as a genuine tool for growth.


Why It Matters

Too often, SBLCs are underutilized — tying up valuable liquidity that could be used for expansion, acquisitions, or project funding. Our approach ensures SBLCs are verified, authenticated, and monetized securely.

Qualifications

This program is available to:

  • Accredited investors and corporations holding SBLCs issued within the last 60 days

  • Clients who can provide documentation and transparency for verification

How it Works

  1. Schedule a Consultation – A confidential call to review your objectives and eligibility.

  2. Submit Documentation – Provide SWIFT MT760 details or Euroclear confirmation.

  3. Verification – AltFunds Global validates the instrument directly with issuing bank contacts

  4. RWA Option – If an SBLC has not yet been issued, the client provides a RWA (Ready, Willing, and Able) letter from their banker. AltFunds confirms authenticity before proceeding.

  5. Monetization Contract – Once verified, a tailored monetization agreement is issued

  6. Funding – Upon execution, disbursement follows the agreed timeline, subject to counterparty approval

⚠️ All steps require compliance clearance and bank-side confirmation. No outcome is guaranteed.

Essential Documentation

To begin the SBLC monetization process, clients must provide:

  • Copy of the SBLC – If already issued

  • Euroclear Report – Confirming the SBLC has been published

  • If not yet issued: An RWA (Ready, Willing, and Able) letter from the issuing banker confirming their ability to issue the SBLC

  • Proof of Funds – To demonstrate capacity to lease or purchase SBLC if applicable

  • Executive Summary – Outlining the project funding purpose and why your bank is not issuing the SBLC

  • Draft Language of the SBLC – Proposed terms for review

⚠️ Once AltFunds Global completes due diligence and confirms authenticity, we issue a formal monetization contract.

Fees

Escrow-Based and Transparent

  • Escrow Deposit: USD 100,000 to cover legal, due diligence, and administrative costs. Funds are held by an escrow agent who disburses to AFG, brokers, and providers.

  • Monetization Fee: USD 12,500, payable upon execution.

  • Success-Based: Fees only apply after verification and contract execution.

⚠️ AltFunds Global never directly holds client funds. All payments flow through escrow.

Broker Commission

  • 3% of the total monetization value for direct brokers

  • All commissions are paid via escrow after successful execution.

  • Only brokers with direct client relationships are considered.

Timelines

Timeframes depend on the quality of documentation, bank verification, and counterparty processes.

Typical ranges:

  • Document submission and verification: 1–2 business days

  • Due diligence and authentication: Variable, depending on bank response

  • Monetization contract to disbursement: Typically 60–90 business days

⚠️ No timelines are guaranteed. Funding depends on counterparties, bank verification, and client readiness.

Fraud Prevention and Verification

SBLC fraud is a serious risk. AltFunds Global mitigates it through:

  • Direct verification with issuing banks

  • SWIFT MT760 and Euroclear checks

  • Authentication of RWA letters using internal resources

  • Independent legal reviews and compliance oversight

  • Background checks on all counterparties

No monetization proceeds without authenticity confirmed.
