Trade Finance Instruments And Services
This page brings Financely’s trade finance and credit support services into one navigable service hub. Whether you are looking for letters of credit, guarantees, proof of funds, structured trade finance, or Swift-related transaction support, you can move directly to the area that matches your transaction and review the relevant service page in context.
Clients do not all need the same instrument. Some need a documentary LC for a shipment. Some need an SBLC or bank guarantee. Some need proof of funds for a live transaction. Others need a structured trade finance solution built around collateral, receivables, or inventory controls. The goal here is simple: make it easier to identify the right path, then move into the full service page before submitting a file.

Letters Of Credit
For shipment-driven transactions, intermediary trade, deferred payment structures, supplier comfort, and documentary payment control.
Standby Letter Of Credit
An SBLC is generally used to support payment or performance if the applicant fails to perform, and it should not be confused with a documentary LC. Explore this structure.
Read more →UPAS Letter Of Credit
UPAS structures can be useful when the supplier wants quick payment but the buyer needs time to repay the bank. Learn how it works.
Read more →Usance Letter Of Credit
A usance LC suits trade where open account feels too loose but immediate sight payment does not fit the buyer’s cycle. Review the service.
Read more →At Sight Letter Of Credit
Where sellers want prompt payment after compliant presentation, an at sight LC may be the better fit. See how this service works.
Read more →Irrevocable Letter Of Credit
An irrevocable LC gives the beneficiary added certainty that the credit will not be casually changed or withdrawn. Review the service page.
Read more →Transferable Letter Of Credit
For intermediaries and traders working with a supplier beneath them in the chain, a transferable LC can sometimes support execution. See the full explanation.
Read more →Back-to-Back Letter Of Credit
Where a second supplier-facing LC needs to be issued against a buyer-facing credit, a back-to-back structure may be relevant. Explore this service.
Read more →Letter Of Credit Confirmation
Confirmation can matter when the beneficiary wants more comfort than the issuing bank alone provides. See when it fits.
Read more →Letter Of Credit Monetization
Monetization discussions only make sense when the instrument, beneficiary rights, issuing bank, and payment mechanics are strong enough for a lender to take seriously. See the full review page.
Read more →Guarantees And Bonds
For contractual security, payment support, tender participation, performance obligations, and advance payment protection.
Bank Guarantee
Bank guarantees are often used where a beneficiary wants recourse if the applicant fails to perform or pay under a contract. Review the full service.
Read more →Performance Guarantee
Where the issue is contract performance rather than shipment payment, a performance guarantee may be the correct instrument. See how it applies.
Read more →Advance Payment Guarantee
When a contract requires money to move before full performance, an advance payment guarantee can help protect that exposure. Explore this solution.
Read more →Payment Guarantee
If the core issue is protection against non-payment rather than operational performance, a payment guarantee may be the better route. Learn more about the structure.
Read more →Bid Bond
Bid bonds are commonly used to support tender participation and show that the bidder is serious enough to proceed if selected. Review the full page.
Read more →Tender Guarantee
Tender guarantees play a similar role in procurement, but wording, format, and timing often need to track the tender documents very closely. See the service detail.
Read more →Swift And Instrument Support
For clients who need to understand or structure around real bank messaging, proof of funds, and instrument-backed transaction requirements.
MT700
MT700 is the Swift message used for documentary LC issuance. The message matters, but only after a real LC transaction has been structured and approved. See what it actually means.
Read more →MT760
MT760 is commonly associated with guarantees and standby undertakings, but the message format is not a substitute for a real underlying transaction. See the full explanation.
Read more →MT799
MT799 is generally used for authenticated bank-to-bank communication. It can support a process, but it is not itself an issued guarantee or funded payment. Review the service page.
Read more →Proof Of Funds
Where a counterparty needs credible evidence of financial capacity before moving deeper into a transaction, proof of funds may be the relevant service. See when it fits.
Read more →Trade Funding And Structuring
For clients seeking funded trade support, structured working capital, instrument-backed liquidity, or more controlled trade finance architecture.
Trade Finance Loan
A trade finance loan is appropriate where the issue is funding a real trade cycle tied to goods, contracts, and a defined repayment event. Review the full service.
Read more →Structured Trade Finance
Where a plain loan request is not enough, structured trade finance can be built around collateral, receivables, inventory, documents, and controlled repayment flows. Explore the full structure.
Read more →Letter Of Credit Monetization
Where a real instrument-backed payment right may support a structured liquidity request, letter of credit monetization can be reviewed on its actual merits. See the monetization page.
Read more →Not every transaction needs the same product. A shipment-driven trade may need a documentary LC. A supply contract may need a guarantee. A procurement process may require tender-stage security. A larger commodity or inventory transaction may need structured trade finance. If the commercial objective is clear, the product choice usually becomes clearer too.
Financely does not present every incoming file as bankable. Some requests are weak on counterparties, documents, commercial logic, repayment, or control. This service hub is meant to help clients identify the right category faster, not to imply that every transaction qualifies for issuance or funding.
Submit The Right Trade Finance Request
If you already know which instrument or service fits your transaction, use the pages above to review the relevant service and then submit your file. If you are not sure which route is correct, submit the transaction context and we will assess which structure is worth pursuing.
Financely acts as a transaction-led structuring and placement firm for commercial finance situations. We are not a deposit-taking bank, and we do not present service-page access as a promise of issuance, funding, monetization, or counterparty acceptance. Any regulated activity is handled through the appropriate licensed or regulated counterparties where required.
