Leased Standby Letter of Credit Providers<\/p><\/div>\n

What Is a Leased Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC)? <\/span><\/h2>\n

A Leased Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a\u00a0 Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC), which is leased to a third party for a specific fee. The issuing bank will conduct due diligence on the creditworthiness of the customer, looking to secure the\u00a0 Standby Letter of Credit. Following this it will lease a letter of credit to that customer for a set amount of money and over a set period of time (typically less than two years).<\/span><\/p>\n

Leasing<\/strong>\u00a0Standby Letters of Credit<\/strong>\u00a0(SBLC)<\/strong> or Leasing Bank Guarantee\u2019s (BG)<\/strong> are common phrases associated with Collateral Transfer. However, leasing is not really the correct term to use as it is not possible to actually lease a Standby Letter of Credit in this manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a misnomer. We use the term loosely as its process is almost exactly that of commercial leasing. In effect, the Provider offers temporary ownership of his assets to the Beneficiary in return for a fee and at the end of the term the assets revert back to the ownership of the Provider. The assets are used to raise specific and non-transferable bank indemnities which the Beneficiary may utilise.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a misnomer as in effect no leasing takes place. Through a Collateral Transfer Agreement, a Provider will agree to place his assets with a facilitating bank. The bank will charge the asset and will raise a bank indemnity against it in favour of the Beneficiary. This bank indemnity will commonly be in the form of a Bank Guarantee issued specifically for the purpose to the Beneficiary.<\/span><\/p>\n

These Collateral Transfer (or C\/T) facilities are useful for when a business needs to import or create security (collateral) to underpin credit lines or loans, otherwise referred to a\u00a0monetization<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC)?<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC \/ SLOC) is a guarantee that is made by a bank on behalf of a client, which ensures payment will be made even if their client cannot fulfill the payment. It is a payment of last resort from the bank, and ideally, is never meant to be used.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Standby Letter of Credit<\/strong> serves a different function than the commercial letter of credit or Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC)<\/strong> is a primary payment instrument for a transaction.<\/p>\n

The Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) serves as a secondary payment instrument.<\/p>\n

So how does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A bank will issue a Standby Letter of Credit on behalf of a client to provide assurances of his\/her ability to perform under the terms and conditions of a contract between the client and the beneficiary.<\/p>\n

The parties involved with the transaction do not expect that the Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC)<\/strong> will ever be drawn upon.<\/p>\n

The Standby Letter of Credit guarantees the beneficiary of the performance of the client\u2019s obligation. The beneficiary is able to draw under the credit by presenting documents and evidence to the issuing bank that the client has not performed its obligation.<\/p>\n

The issuing bank is obligated to make payment if the documents presented comply with the terms and conditions of the Standby Letter of Credit.<\/p>\n

Standby Letter of Credit: A Backup Plan for Payment<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
A standby letter of credit (SBLC) can add a safety net that ensures payment for a completed service or a shipment of physical goods. With such an arrangement, a bank guarantees payment to a beneficiary if something fails to happen. The SBLC describes the conditions that would cause the bank to pay.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

A bank providing a letter of credit should be a disinterested third party. If the bank’s customer fails to satisfy specific terms of an agreement,\u00a0the bank\u2014not the customer who failed to deliver\u2014pays the beneficiary. Because it is credit, the customer ultimately is responsible for repaying the bank. <\/span><\/p>\n

SBLCs, like\u00a0standard\u00a0letters of credit,\u00a0are useful for international trade as well as domestic transactions like local building projects. Should something unforeseen prevent terms of a deal to be completed, the SBLC ensures financial obligations to a beneficiary are met.<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples <\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

There are two main types of SBLCs\u2014those that are financial-based and those that are performance-based: <\/span><\/p>\n
