Uses of Bank Instruments for potential holders or beneficiary
- Bank instruments vary in scope and purpose with each bank instrument serving a specific purpose. Bank instruments are very important in international trades, trade finance, important and export transactions and they are widely used by businesses, contractors, importers as well as exporters.
- Some financial instruments will act as Collateral or credit enhancement to shore up financial statements and profile.
- Some bank instruments like letters of credit help to facilitate international trade between companies that don’t know each other and have different laws and regulations.
- Proof of funds, bank guarantees, letters of credit; to facilitate, secure or execute projects, trade and business transactions.

A Bank Guarantee is a promise from a bank or other lending institution that if a particular borrower defaults on a loan, the bank will cover the loss. Note that a bank guarantee is not the same as a letter of credit.

As a genuine bank instrument provider, you can use bank instruments from Grand City Investment Limited to secure a line of credit from your bank or get a loan from financial institutions. But the bank instrument has to be issued from any of the top 25 biggest banks in the world. Bank instruments from non rated banks hold little or no value.
So if you are in the market for bank instruments, especially bank guarantees (bg) or standby letters of credit (sblc), make sure that a prime rated bank issued it. And also make sure that it is being issued by a genuine bank guarantee provider and top sblc provider like Grand City Investment Limited.
The benefits of following this approach is you know you have peace of mind that your interest would be looked after and you surely would be getting the best deal. This is very important because the bank instrument industry is filled with fake bank instrument providers as well as scammers and cheaters.
Discounting of Bank Instruments
Some bank instruments can also be discounted. Discounting is a process of selling short or below value to achieve real time objectives. As industry leaders, we assist clients to procure bank instruments, monetize bank instruments and also discount bank instruments from prime banks.
Bank Instrument Monetization- Monetisation of BG/SLBC.
Bank instrument monetization or monetisation is the process of converting a bank instrument, especially a bg/sblc into money or legal tender. Monetization of Bank instruments usually means converting the instrument into liquid cash.
Some clients will simply apply the cash to a variety of projects while others may like to trade with it.
We offer Monetization of Bank Instruments such as BG and SBLC @ 80% LTV which is one of the highest in the industry.
