POF Proof of Funds and BCL Bank Comfort Letter explained by Geordon Saraveloz

Geordon Saraveloz January 1, 2021 0 Comments

A bank confirmation letter (BCL) or a Proof of Funds letter (POF) is a letter from a bank or financial institution confirming the existence of a loan or a line of credit that has been extended to a borrower. The letter officially confirms the fact that the borrower—typically an individual, company, or organization—is eligible to borrow a specified amount of funds for a specified purpose.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
• A bank confirmation letter (BCL) validates that a bank has a line of credit in place with one of its customers.
• The BLC is not a guarantee of payment, but an assurance of the borrower’s financial resources to complete a purchase.
• Bank confirmation letters are typically issued to business customers vouching for their creditworthiness.
• Bank confirmation letters can also be issued for a company that is entering into a joint venture project with another company.
• Individuals may request a BCL during the purchase of a home or land in order to secure a mortgage or establish creditworthiness with the seller.
