Commercial Standby Letters of Credit

A flexible tool for a variety of situations

When you encounter a business transaction that requires assurance that your payment will be made, a standby letter of credit, or SBLC, may be what you need. It doesn't have to be related to the purchase of goods or services. It's based on a contractual agreement or other obligation and is drawn upon by the beneficiary only when the applicant fails to meet the underlying obligation.
