Collateral & Guarantee Support

Collateral Leasing, SBLC, DLC, BG & Loan Guarantee Support

Fixed engagement pricing for qualified commercial transactions, plus a 12% annual collateral or guarantee fee calculated on face value.

Fixed Commercial Terms

One pricing model across the credit-support requirement

Financely structures legitimate third-party collateral support, standby letters of credit, documentary letters of credit, bank guarantees and commercial loan guarantees for businesses with a real underlying transaction, identifiable counterparties and a credible repayment or reimbursement path.

The fixed engagement fee pays for Financely's review, structuring, provider or issuer pathway, documentation coordination and execution support. The support fee is 12% of face value per year. The standard minimum charge period is 12 months, and longer validity periods are estimated at the same annual rate.

Face Value Fixed Financely Engagement Fee Annual Collateral / Guarantee Fee Payment Timing
US$1M – US$5M US$25,000 12% of face value Annually in advance
Over US$5M – US$10M US$50,000 12% of face value Annually in advance
Over US$10M – US$25M US$75,000 12% of face value Annually in advance
Over US$25M – US$50M US$100,000 12% of face value Annually in advance
Over US$50M – US$100M US$150,000 12% of face value Annually in advance
Above US$100M US$250,000 12% of face value Annually in advance

The annual fee is calculated on the committed face value, not the amount ultimately drawn. Bank, legal, valuation, collateral-perfection, insurance, trustee, SWIFT, advising, confirmation, tax and other external execution costs are separate.

These are summaries of feedback published on Financely's public review and transaction pages. Individual results vary and do not guarantee issuance, financing or another transaction outcome.

Is the 12% annual fee paid once per year?
Yes. The standard annual collateral / guarantee fee is 12% of the committed face value and is payable once per year in advance. The first annual fee is due before or upon activation under the final transaction documentation.
How is the support fee calculated for a longer validity period?
The standard rate is 12% per year on the committed face value. The calculator estimates the total support fee over the requested validity period. A 12-month minimum charge applies. Longer periods are shown on a pro-rata annual basis for estimation; the final billing schedule, renewal mechanics and validity remain subject to the executed support documentation and provider approval.
Is there a grace period?
There is no grace period for the first-year annual fee before activation. For renewals, the standard commercial position is a 10-business-day grace period. A renewal is not automatic and remains subject to re-underwriting, continued compliance and provider approval.
Can a six-month requirement pay only half of the 12% annual fee?
Not under the standard product. The standard commitment period is 12 months and the annual fee is charged for that period. A different short-term structure would need to be expressly approved and documented.
What is collateral leasing in this context?
It is a commercial credit-support arrangement in which third-party collateral, pledged assets, a counter-guarantee or other acceptable credit capacity supports another company's financing or guarantee requirement. The market may call this leasing, but the executable structure depends on real collateral, legal control, reimbursement obligations and bank or provider approval.
Does Financely issue the SBLC, DLC, bank guarantee or loan guarantee?
No. Financely provides paid advisory, structuring, origination and execution coordination. The actual instrument or guarantee is issued or provided by the relevant bank, insurer, guarantor, collateral provider or other accepted third-party institution under its own underwriting and documentation.
Does paying the fee guarantee issuance or beneficiary acceptance?
No. Issuance, collateral acceptance, beneficiary acceptance, lender approval, wording, pricing, timing and closing remain subject to underwriting, KYC, AML, sanctions screening, legal review, credit approval and final transaction documents.
Can an SBLC automatically be monetized or converted into cash?
No. Financely does not promise monetization. A lender or funding institution independently decides whether an SBLC or guarantee is acceptable as credit support and whether it supports a loan or other facility.
Do you work with leased SBLC or MT799-to-MT760 schemes?
We work only with legitimate commercial credit-support structures that can survive underwriting. We are not interested in unverifiable providers, fictitious proof-of-funds stories, trading-program narratives or requests that depend on a SWIFT-message sequence instead of a real applicant, beneficiary, transaction, reimbursement source and regulated issuing pathway.
What kinds of collateral can be considered?
Depending on the transaction, acceptable support may include cash, marketable securities, commercial real estate, receivables, contractual cash flows or other financeable assets. Acceptance, valuation, haircuts, legal control and perfection are determined by the relevant provider, lender and legal framework.
What happens if the guarantee or SBLC is called?
A valid claim can create a real payment obligation. The applicant's reimbursement and indemnity obligations, collateral enforcement rights and provider recourse must therefore be defined in the final documents before issuance.
What is not included in the 12% annual fee?
Unless expressly included in the final engagement documents, external bank charges, advising or confirmation fees, SWIFT charges, legal counsel, valuations, collateral perfection, trustees, insurance, taxes and other third-party execution costs are separate.
Is Financely a bank or securities broker-dealer?
No. Financely acts as a structured-finance advisor and arranger. We are not a bank, deposit-taking institution, guarantor or securities broker-dealer. Where licensed or regulated activity is required, the relevant activity is handled by an appropriately licensed bank, broker-dealer, investment bank, insurer, guarantor, legal adviser or other regulated counterparty.
