Do you issue letters of credit yourselves?
No. We act as advisor and arranger. Letters of credit are issued by regulated banks. Confirmations are provided by approved banks.
How does margin financing work?
We underwrite the applicant and structure a secured margin facility. The facility funds issuance requirements. The applicant repays per the agreed schedule. Commercial terms are provided in the proposal.
Is confirmation mandatory?
It depends on issuer rating, country risk, tenor, and supplier requirements. Confirmation can improve acceptance and shipment timing.
Which costs should a buyer expect?
Cost components vary by structure, tenor, and bank selection. A full breakdown is included in the proposal after underwriting.
How quickly can issuance be completed?
With a complete pack and pre-agreed text, issuance is scheduled on the bank calendar. Timelines depend on approvals and compliance checks.
