Verifying the Authenticity of an SBLC

SBLC fraud is a known risk in this space. At AltFunds Global, our verification protocols go beyond surface-level checks and include:

• Confirmation of the issuing bank’s credentials
• Analysis of instrument language and structure
• Authentication of SWIFT message details
• Recommendations for third-party legal review or in-person due diligence, where needed

To lease or purchase an SBLC through Alt Funds Global, the following documentation must be completed to ensure compliance and support a secure transaction process:

• AltFunds Global’s KYC (Know Your Client) Form: Along with a bank statement that is three days old, you’ll need to provide proof of funds of at least $1.5 million USD plus a 1% paymaster fee.
• Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement and Non-Circumvent Agreement (NDA/NCA): These agreements must be signed and completed to ensure the confidentiality of the transaction and to prevent circumvention of the parties involved.
• Joint Venture Agreement: This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the transaction and must be signed and completed by all parties involved.

Once all documentation is received and verified, either Alt Funds Global or one of our trusted law firms or dealer-broker partners will provide you with a formal Service Agreement. Upon signing, we’ll proceed with issuing your standby letter of credit.

If you’re looking to access quick cash flow, monetizing an SBLC may be the solution you need. Our team is here to guide you through the SBLC monetization process, providing flexible financing options that can be customized to suit your business needs.

At AltFunds Global, we believe in cost transparency and strive to provide our clients with competitive and reasonable fees. The cost of an SBLC can vary depending on different factors, including the issuing bank’s credit quality, the instrument’s language, and the number of days it takes to issue the instrument. Our fee structure is fair and reflects the value we provide to our clients.

Standard Fee Structure

• Leasing or Purchasing an SBLC: 2.5% of the instrument’s face value
• Monetization Services (Optional Add-On): Additional 2.5% of the instrument’s face value if we assist in monetization

Performance-Based Fee Structure

In cases where clients lack sufficient capital to cover issuance costs (typically between 4% and 62%, based on bank and instrument specifics), Alt Funds Global may front capital from our firm or financial partners. When this occurs:

• Our fee is 50% of the net proceeds from monetization
• This option is offered on a case-by-case basis only
• Please note: We do not block our own funds without formal engagement and underwriting

Programs Not Suitable For

To maintain service quality and compliance, we do not engage with:

• Clients who do not have at least $1.6 million USD for MT760-related fees
• Individuals or companies “price shopping” or requesting non-standard procedures
• Brokers without direct relationships with end clients

At AltFunds Global, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their financial goals by providing the highest level of service possible. We understand that every client’s needs are different, and our team is dedicated to finding the best solution for each unique situation.

What is the difference between a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) and a Bank Guarantee (BG)?

While both instruments serve as financial guarantees, they function differently:

SBLCs are typically used in trade finance to guarantee payment if the buyer defaults.

BGs are more commonly used to back loans or performance obligations.

In an SBLC, payment is triggered by the beneficiary presenting a demand to the bank. In a BG, payment occurs if contractual obligations aren’t fulfilled.

Alt Funds Global also provides standby letters of guarantee (SLGs) in select cases for qualified clients. If your transaction requires a performance-based financial guarantee, our team can help assess suitability and structure accordingly.

If you’re unsure which is right for your situation, Alt Funds Global can help you determine the optimal instrument based on your transaction type.

How do I verify that an SBLC is legitimate?

Verification should include:

• Confirming the issuing bank’s credentials
• Authenticating SWIFT MT760 transmission details
• Legal review of instrument language and format
• In-person due diligence or third-party investigative support, if desired

Alt Funds Global conducts multi-layered verification to ensure all standby letters of credit meet regulatory, operational, and strategic standards.

What are the requirements to lease or purchase an SBLC?

Minimum requirements include:

• At least $1.5–$1.6 million USD for SWIFT fees and onboarding
• Completion of KYC documentation
• Ability to fund legal/retainer agreements with our partner brokers or law firms

Instruments typically start at $250 million USD, though lower-value transactions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

What is an MT760, and why is it important?

An MT760 is a SWIFT message used to transmit SBLCs or BGs between financial institutions. It acts as a formal commitment by the issuing bank. Verifying the legitimacy and format of this message is critical to avoiding fraud.

Can Alt Funds Global help me monetize my SBLC?

Yes. We offer access to vetted monetization providers and can structure transactions that convert your leased or purchased SBLC into immediate liquidity, subject to eligibility and compliance.
