Proof of Funds Service, Bank Comfort Letter, and SWIFT MT799 Support
Many deals fail before negotiation even starts because counterparties do not trust the buyer’s funding position.
FG Capital Advisors supports clients that need formal transaction-readiness documentation, including proof of funds, bank comfort letter coordination, and SWIFT MT799 bank-to-bank pre-advice workflows.
We coordinate structure, document readiness, and issuing-bank communication paths through regulated third-party channels on a best-efforts basis.
Request A QuoteWhat Each Instrument Is Used For
| Instrument | Primary Purpose | Typical Recipient | What It Is Not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof of Funds (POF) | Evidence that financial capacity exists for a defined transaction. | Seller, broker, intermediary, or mandate holder. | Not a loan approval or payment guarantee. |
| Bank Comfort Letter (BCL) | Bank-level comfort statement linked to client relationship and capacity context. | Counterparty or approved transaction participants. | Not a substitute for definitive trade instruments. |
| SWIFT MT799 | Bank-to-bank authenticated pre-advice messaging for transaction intent and readiness. | Receiving bank compliance and trade operations teams. | Not a payment instrument and not a guarantee by itself. |
