Proof of funds is a crucial step in the process of issuing and transferring a Standby Letter of

necessary to honour the commitment. In the case of remittance to a third party, it is important
that the transfer is made directly from the buyer or lessee’s bank to the ultimate beneficiary. If
the insurance is paid, the SBLC can be sent directly to the third party’s bank account, thus

SWIFT is the ‘Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication’
StandBy Letter of Credit is a written commitment by a bank that issues
it to pay a certain amount of money on behalf of the bank's client in
favor of a beneficiary in the event that the client/buyer is unable to
fulfill his/her financial obligation to the beneficiary/seller.
Using a StandBy LC in commercial transactions is an indication of good
faith and proof of a buyer's credibility and financial capabilities.
While a “Letter of Credit” is a promise of payment (usually short-term),
where a bank guarantees that the seller will receive the money promised
by the buyer, within the agreed time and amount. Ensuring that the buyer
pays the seller.
The SBLC is guaranteed by the bank itself. It guarantees, with its own
resources, that the seller will be paid when it fulfills the established
terms.
It provides additional security to the seller, since the bank's
credibility often exceeds that of the buyers. In this sense, an SBLC
creates a bank obligation.
The bank obligation generated through the SBLC generates a highly
reliable instrument, especially if it is issued by a high-standard bank.
This means that the bank that issued this instrument is responsible for
its payment. This obligation usually has a term of 1 year. This
instrument has a high market value and can be used for monetization.
