We structure, underwrite and place the mandate
Issuers issue instruments through their own accounts, subject to bank policy, applicant eligibility and compliance approval.
Instrument Route
Amount, tenor, beneficiary wording, collateral logic and commercial purpose.
File Preparation
KYC file, applicant profile, contract review, repayment source and supporting documents.
Issuer-Ready Submission
Clean transaction memo, wording schedule, document index and bank-facing request.
Issuer Routing
Submission to suitable issuer, lender or capital-provider routes for feedback and terms.
Prestigious account banks may be available by issuer route
Availability depends on the applicant, instrument type, amount, tenor, country, compliance profile and bank policy.
No bank name on this page means Financely is endorsed by, partnered with or acting as agent for that bank.

Retainers cover Financely’s structuring, underwriting preparation, packaging and placement work. Issuer and bank costs are separate.
Cleaner transactions with coherent documents, clear beneficiary requirements and workable applicant profile.
Larger amounts, difficult jurisdictions, bespoke wording, heavier diligence or layered capital support.
Indicative onboarding to issuance timing after the file is complete and the engagement is active.
What clients say about the process
Clients value clear structuring, honest timelines and proper preparation before issuer introductions.
“After wasting time with firms that promised a Bank Guarantee for a flat upfront fee, Financely was a complete change. They structured the transaction, prepared the application package and introduced us to the right banks only after the file was ready. When our margin was short, they brought in an external funding partner without derailing the tender timeline.”Michael Thompson CEO, Vertex Infrastructure Ltd, UK
“We needed an SBLC for a multi-million dollar agricultural commodity shipment. Financely explained the difference between an SBLC and a Bank Guarantee in our exact context, restructured parts of the deal and introduced it to appropriate issuing banks. Their honesty saved us weeks.”Priya Sharma Director, Trade Finance, Global Agro Traders Pte Ltd, Singapore
“For a major EPC contract, we needed a performance Bank Guarantee quickly. Financely prepared the supporting documents, completed the necessary diligence and brought in an external party when the margin requirement exceeded our available liquidity. The guarantee was issued and the contract was awarded.”David Okonkwo Managing Director, Horizon Construction & Engineering, UAE and Nigeria
“Financely treated our renewable energy SBLC requirement as a structured finance transaction. They organized the deal, completed the preparatory work and introduced it to banks in their network. Their clear explanation of mechanics, risks and timeline made the process much smoother.”Elena Petrova CFO, GreenForge Renewables, Germany
“Financely helped us obtain an SBLC for a long-term supply contract. They did not offer to sell us an instrument. They structured the transaction properly, prepared the groundwork and introduced the deal to suitable banks. We now approach future transactions with far more clarity.”James Liu Founder and Managing Director, Pacific Manufacturing Group, Australia
“The main difference was discipline. Financely made sure the file made sense before approaching issuers. That protected our time, reduced confusion with the beneficiary and gave us a realistic route to issuance.”Verified Client Trade instrument advisory mandate
Indicative verbiage windows
Wording can usually be agreed through normal commercial review. It must still match the obligation, rules, issuer policy and bank route.
Common questions
Does Financely issue the instrument directly?
No. Financely structures, underwrites and places qualified mandates with issuers. The issuer issues through its own banking route.
How do we start?
Submit the transaction through the RFQ page. We review the outline, documents, counterparties and instrument requirement before proposing an engagement.
How long does it take?
Routine files may move from onboarding to issuance in 10 to 45 days after the file is complete. Complex files can take longer.
What is the minimum retainer?
The minimum retainer is USD 20,000 for routine mandates. More complex mandates start at USD 35,000.
What does the retainer cover?
Structuring, underwriting preparation, transaction packaging and issuer or capital-provider positioning. Issuer fees and bank charges are separate.
Can you help if the margin is short?
Sometimes. Where appropriate, we may position the transaction with external funding or margin-support partners. Approval is never guaranteed.
Can wording be changed?
Yes. Wording can usually be negotiated. It must remain commercially honest, bankable and acceptable to the issuer and bank route.
What does the 90-day refund guarantee cover?
It covers eligible Financely retainer fees where Financely cannot produce a credible issuer, lender or capital-provider pathway within 90 days of active engagement. Third-party costs are excluded.
