4 Reasons The Deposit is Required:
1/ World Top 50 Banks will NOT issue a SBLC / BG unless they have an assurance that when they complete delivery of the SBLC to the Clients Bank that they will be promptly paid for creating and delivering the SBLC or BG. 2/ ALMOST ALL banks now require Clients to make a good faith payment at the start of a SBLC / BG transaction. Too many Banks have been burned with failed SBLC / BG transactions by clients who have refused to show any capacity to be able to:
- a)Either make a good faith payment, or
- b)Settle a legitimate SBLC / BG transaction.
The High Rate of failed SBLC/ BG transactions from clients who have not invested any money in the settlement of their own SBLC / BG transactions has lead Most Banks and Financial Instrument Providers to now require good faith payments BEFORE a SBLC / BG is Issued by a bank. 3/ If a client could get a $70 Million or $200 Million Dollar Standby Letter of Credit or Bank Guarantee issued without contributing a single dollar, every homeless person on the planet would be doing it! There has to be a common-sense barrier to prohibit that sort of foolishness and misuse. Obtaining a SBLC / BG without providing any kind of Deposit is a Fairy Tale that has never existed. 4/ There has been a high level of fraud with Proof of Funds and Bank Statements. Platform Funding’s view is if a client cannot transfer the required Deposit for a Leased SBLC or BG Purchase to an Independent Trustee (after all program documents are signed by all parties) when they “claim” to have funds to buy a $20 Million Dollar Standby Letter of Credit or Bank Guarantee, then the client probably is NOT real and Platform Funding shouldn’t be doing business with them.
