Apply to Hire Financely as Your Placement Adviser

This application is for companies and authorized principals seeking professional SBLC structuring and placement support. It is not a request for a free consultation.

Qualified applicants receive a written engagement setting out the proposed scope, retainer, process, expected timeline and required documentation. Work begins after the engagement is signed and the retainer is paid.

Rated banks only Financely works with regulated financial institutions that meet applicable credit, jurisdiction and compliance requirements. We do not arrange issuance through unrated, shell, unlicensed or unverifiable banks.

Minimum SBLC amount USD 500,000 Minimum face value generally accepted for a placement mandate

The final retainer depends on the SBLC amount, purpose, tenor, applicant profile, jurisdiction, collateral structure, issuing-bank route and required completion date. Bank approval and issuance remain subject to KYC, compliance, credit approval and definitive documentation.
