🎯 Executive summary

• Instrument: Clean, irrevocable, unconditional SBLC via MT760 from recognized banks.
• Realistic LTV: typically 60–80% of face (deal-, bank- and tenor-dependent).
• Timeline: onboarding/KYC 2–5 days → issuance/receipt 5–15 days → availability of funds upon verification.
• Cost stack: facility spread, set-up fee, legal/escrow; avoid any upfront “broker” fees.

✅ What qualifies for monetization

Good candidates

• SBLC issued by top-tier or solid BBB banks.
• Clean, unconditional wording under ISP98 (or UCP 600).
• Face value & tenor aligned with facility appetite (90–365 days typical).
• Transaction traceability + full KYC/AML pack.

Poor candidates

• “Leased SBLC” with unclear issuing bank or grey lists.
• Conditional language, “best efforts”, or odd governing law.
• Unverifiable SWIFT trails, screenshots instead of confirmations.
• Requests for upfront fees before any compliance step.

📊 LTV, timelines & costs (typical ranges)

Item	Typical range	Notes
Loan-to-Value (LTV)	60% – 80%	Depends on issuer rating, tenor, jurisdiction, wording.
Onboarding (KYC)	2 – 5 business days	Company docs, IDs, source of funds/instrument, sanctions.
Issuance / Receipt	5 – 15 business days	MT760 to the monetizer/escrow as instructed.
Verification & availability	Same day – 72h	Upon SWIFT verification / RMA match / callbacks.
Cost stack	Facility margin + setup + legal/escrow	Quoted in the term sheet; no cash upfront to “brokers”.

🧭 Standard process

1. Submit dossier: Corporate KYC, draft SBLC text, issuer details, tenor, use of funds.
2. Indicative terms: Monetizer returns LTV, pricing, conditions, escrow/co-custody if needed.
3. RWA / pre-advice: Optional MT799 to confirm readiness and field 52/59 details.
4. Issue & deliver: Issuer sends MT760 to the designated receiving bank.
5. Verification: SWIFT checks, callbacks, RMA, authenticity confirmation.
6. Funding: Facility drawdown or assignment of proceeds per term sheet.

🚨 Red flags to avoid

• “Monetization” promises at 90–95% LTV with same-day cash.
• Requests for upfront fees, “compliance deposits”, or crypto payments.
• Refusal to disclose receiving bank coordinates before due diligence.
• No RMA relationship, no callbacks, only screenshots as “proof”.
• Exotic governing law/venue with non-bank issuers using “SBLC-like” terms.

Tip: Always validate the receiving bank’s SWIFT BIC, RMA, and callback contact before any MT760.

📂 Checklist — required documents

• Certificate of incorporation, shareholders/UBO, IDs, utility/bank letter.
• Compliance forms: KYC/AML, sanctions & PEP declarations.
• Draft SBLC wording (ISP98/UCP600), issuer bank, face value, tenor.
• Purpose & use of funds, facility structure (assignment/escrow).
