Once you have negotiated a credit line with your bank, collateral you may need to trigger and draw from that credit line can be arranged on the basis of Borrowing and Lending Securities. A securities dealer will buy, hold and lend the unconditional use of the securities to your bank in the form of an SBLC or Bank Guarantee to serve as your cash collateral for an agreed period of time.

• Your bank will have to be prepared to provide a conditional payment for the borrowing and lending fee during 20 days, after the Securities Borrowing and Lending Agreement is signed. Talk to your bank and see if they agree and support you accordingly.
• You will enter into an agreement with the Facilitator to initiate a Securities Borrowing and Lending Agreement.
• After you have committed to the transaction, and in case your company is not fully qualified placed a reservation and commitment fee, and you have signed the Securities Borrowing and Lending Agreement the securities dealer places a Call Option to buy the securities specifically for your transaction.
• Within 20 days, your bank sends the agreed conditional payment to the securities dealer in line with the Securities Borrowing and Lending Agreement
• This initiates direct communication between banks and starts their Due Diligence on all parties involved.
• If Due Diligence turns out to be positive and to the satisfaction of all parties, the provider’s bank will advise a fully cash backed Bank Guarantee or Standby Letter of Credit via SWIFT MT760.
• Your receiving bank verifies and releases the condition to pay the lending fee.
• You now have the required collateral and can draw cash to start your project.
• 15 days prior of the maturity date of the BG or SBLC you can ask for an extension for another year, or returns the Securities backed BG or SBLC to the investor.

Requirements

If you want to access valid SBLC or BG collateral to back up a credit line, then you will need a bank, or several banks willing to work with you on this. They will have to offer you a credit line you can draw from, once the instrument arrives via SWIFT MT760. The borrowing and lending fee can be paid from that credit and your project can be financed by drawing from that credit line.
