https://grandcityinvestment.com/can-youmonetize-bank-instruments-such-as-sblc-orbg/ The answer to the above question is YES, but firstly, we need to understand how SBLC and/or BG works. I won’t be giving too much explanation in this article as I have already given in-depth information with regards to SBLC and BG in previous articles about monetization of bank financial instruments. For the benefit of this article though I will give a basic and guided explanation. Standby Letter Of Credit (SBLC) is used as Payment Guarantee. e.g. A Buyer in the USA secured a contract for the supply of fuel with a Seller from Germany (Cross Country). Assuming the contract runs for (one) year, and the relationship between both parties has been secured, to provide a guarantee to the Seller, the Buyer then goes ahead and opens/issues an SBLC to Seller ( we can refer to this as a Stand-By).
