What issuing banks, monetizers, and cross-border counsel actually do — not what brokers tell you.
Standby Letters of Credit are the most misunderstood instrument in trade finance. Half the market talks about them without ever having placed one; the other half places them without understanding how an issuing bank actually evaluates an application. Either way, deals stall for reasons that could have been avoided.
This three-day recorded course is the version taught to sponsors, brokers, and family-office staff who need to move beyond theory and actually get an instrument placed. It includes interviews with a working issuing banker and a monetization desk — the people who say yes or no, not consultants selling opinions about them.
Recorded, on-demand, at your pace. Watch once for the frameworks; refer back in the middle of a live transaction.

Where this sits vs. consulting
One advisory engagement on a single SBLC placement typically runs $10,000–$25,000 — and covers just that one deal.
This course gives you the underlying knowledge to handle the next one yourself, or at least to know whether the broker in front of you does. The first time it saves you a misdirected application fee or a bank-side rejection, it has paid for itself many times over.
Three days of recorded instruction, two exclusive banker-side interviews, sector case studies, and the frameworks to place and monetize a live instrument.
