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.

At AltFunds Global, we believe in cost transparency and strive to provide our clients with competitive and reasonable fees.

What is the difference between a Standby Letter of Credit and a Letter of Guarantee?

These financial instruments are used to guarantee payment to the beneficiary in case the applicant defaults on their payment obligations. However, there are some essential differences between these two instruments.

If you are engaged in international trade, an SBLC may be more relevant to you. It is issued by a bank on behalf of its client, the applicant, to guarantee payment to the seller if the buyer fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. This means that the bank promises to pay the beneficiary if the applicant defaults on their payment obligations. The beneficiary can present the SBLC to the bank for payment if the applicant fails to make payment as agreed.

On the other hand, an LG is a more general term used to refer to any guarantee given by one party to another. It is a promise by one party (usually a bank) to be responsible for the obligations of its client (the applicant) to a third party (the beneficiary). LGs can be used in various situations, such as construction contracts, performance bonds, or customs and tax guarantees.

Overall, while both instruments provide a form of guarantee, an SBLC is more specific to international trade and payment obligations, while an LG can be used in various situations where a third party requires assurance that an obligation will be fulfilled. If you are still determining which instrument is appropriate for your situation, Book a consultation call with AltFunds Global today to learn more about our services and how we can help you achieve your financial goals.
