Introduction to Buy/Sell Programs
Buy/Sell programs are financial mechanisms where monetized instruments are used as collateral or proof of liquidity to enter international trading opportunities. They are widely used by institutional investors, hedge funds, and project sponsors to generate trading profits, investment yields, or structured finance returns.
Key Features of Buy/Sell Programs
- Use of monetized SBLCs or BGs as liquidity instruments
- Participation in secondary trading or investment programs
- Regulatory compliance with international banking standards

- Access to multi-billion-dollar international trading platforms
The Role of SBLC and BG in Trading Programs
SBLCs and BGs provide verified financial capacity to institutional participants:
- Collateral for trading and investment programs
- Proof of funding for regulatory authorities and counterparties
- Facilitation of leveraged trading without upfront cash
- Creation of syndicated or partially leased investment opportunities
MT760 and MT799 Verification
Verification of instruments is critical for participation:
- MT799: Non-binding pre-advice confirming instrument availability
- MT760: Legally binding SWIFT message transmitting the SBLC or BG
