Request Usance LC Indicative Terms

Share your trade contract, supplier details, preferred tenor, and banking coordinates. We respond with eligibility, a fee grid, and the fastest path to issuance.

Include applicant KYC, last two year financials, shipment schedule, and any confirmation or UPAS preference. We act as arranger and coordinate issuance through partner banks.

All transactions are subject to KYC and AML, sanctions checks, credit approvals, document conformity, and signed agreements. No offer of securities is made.

Financely acts as advisor and arranger. We are not a bank and do not take deposits. Usance LC issuance depends on bank approvals, document compliance, and counterparty performance. Nothing here is a guarantee of issuance.
