Trusted SBLC Provider for Global Growth

Lease or Purchase Strategic Standby Letters of Credit with Confidence

When traditional banks hesitate and projects stall, a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) can provide the credibility and liquidity you need to move forward.

At AltFunds Global, we assist qualified clients in leasing or purchasing SBLCs through regulated channels. Our role is to ensure clarity, compliance, and verification at every stage — so you can focus on your project, not uncertainty.

⚠️ Important: AltFunds Global is not a bank and does not issue SBLCs. We provide client-side advisory, documentation, and introductions to vetted financial counterparties.

Businesses often face challenges such as:

• Uncertainty about whether an SBLC is authentic

• Difficulty finding a credible provider or issuing bank

• Complex collateral and compliance requirements

• High issuance costs with little transparency

AltFunds Global specializes in structuring, making the process transparent, and ensuring it is verifiable.

Working with AltFunds Global may help you achieve:

• Financial Assurance – Counterparties gain confidence knowing obligations are secured.

• Market Access – Demonstrate financial stability when entering new markets.

• Risk Mitigation – Protect both buyer and seller against default risk.

• Flexible Structuring – SBLC terms can often be customized to suit the transaction.

• Access to vetted issuing banks

• Structured documentation and compliance support

• Independent verification of authenticity (SWIFT MT760, Euroclear, bank credentials)

• Escrow-based fee model for trust and transparency

• Clear, performance-aligned fee structures

We are committed to transparency and diligence in a market where these qualities are often lacking.

Once issued, an SBLC may also be monetized — creating liquidity without requiring the sale of core assets.

Potential Advantages:

• Immediate access to working capital

• Flexible terms to fit project funding strategies

• Preserve ownership while raising capital

⚠️ All monetization is subject to the counterparty’s approval, the quality of documentation, and prevailing market conditions.

SBLC Process Flow

1. Initial Consultation – Confidential call to review objectives and eligibility

2. Client Onboarding – Submission of KYC/CIS, business documentation, Proof of Funds

3. Structuring – Work with the issuing bank to structure the SBLC

4. Issuance & Delivery – Once approved, the SBLC is issued via SWIFT MT760

5. Optional Monetization – If requested, introductions to vetted monetization providers

SBLC fraud is a real risk. That’s why our verification protocols include:

• Confirming issuing bank credentials

• Authenticating SWIFT MT760 message details

• Reviewing the language and structure of the instrument

• Recommending an independent legal review and Euroclear checks

• Background vetting of counterparties

No SBLC moves forward without multi-layered due diligence.

To lease, purchase, or monetize an SBLC through AltFunds Global, the following must be provided:

• KYC / CIS Form – Completed compliance documentation

• Recent Bank Statement – No older than 3 days, showing Proof of Funds (minimum USD 1.5M plus 1% paymaster fee)

• Executive Summary – Explaining why your own bank is not issuing the SBLC and the project purpose

• Draft Language of the SBLC – Terms and verbiage for review

• Signed NDA/NCA Agreement – To ensure confidentiality

• Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) – Outlining roles and responsibilities

• Professional Business Plan – Supporting the project funding need

For Monetization Requests Only:

• Copy of the SBLC (if already issued)

• Euroclear confirmation showing issuance

• If the SBLC has not yet been issued, an RWA (Ready, Willing, and Able) email from the issuing banker

Once all documentation is received, AltFunds Global conducts a compliance and due diligence review. If accepted, a formal Service Agreement is provided before proceeding.

Escrow-Based and Transparent

• Escrow Requirement: Clients deposit USD 100,000 into escrow to cover underwriting, compliance, and professional services. The escrow agent disburses payments to AFG, brokers, and providers. AFG never directly handles client funds.

• Standard Fee Structure:

  • 2.5% of the SBLC face value for leasing or purchasing

  • 2.5% additional if monetization services are provided

• Performance-Based Fee Structure:

  • In some cases, if issuance costs are too high, AFG or partners may front capital.

  • Fee in such cases: 50% of monetization proceeds

  • Offered only on a case-by-case basis with underwriting and agreements

We do not engage with:

• Clients without minimum liquidity (USD 1.5–1.6M for fees)

• Individuals seeking unrealistic or “price shopping” arrangements

• Brokers without direct client access

SBLC processes vary depending on:

• Client readiness and documentation completeness

• Issuing bank’s internal requirements

• Counterparty compliance and due diligence

Typical ranges:

• Document submission: 1–2 business days

• Issuance after approval: 1–3 banking days

• Monetization: Variable, depending on market and bank load

⚠️ AltFunds Global does not guarantee timing. All outcomes depend on the issuing bank, the quality of documentation, and the discretion of the counterparty.

Myth 1: All SBLC providers are the same.
Reality: Many operate without proper oversight. We only work with regulated banks, utilize escrow arrangements, and partner with vetted professionals.

Myth 2: SBLCs are “free money.”
Reality: SBLCs are structured guarantees, not gifts. They must be backed by proper compliance and used responsibly.

Myth 3: Results are guaranteed.
Reality: They are not. Issuance and monetization depend on the counterparty and complete due diligence.

Myth 4: Fraud cannot be avoided.
Reality: Fraud exists in this space, but AltFunds mitigates it with authentication, Euroclear checks, SWIFT verification, and legal oversight.

Myth 5: AltFunds Global issues SBLCs.
Reality: We do not. We facilitate introductions, manage compliance, and verify authenticity.
