Advantages of SBLC
Lack of trust and fear of payment default is one of the key reasons why some international trade deals don’t take off. An SBLC is the best way to bridge the gap and ensure that all the worst-case scenarios are dealt with.
Once a reputed financial institution lends someone a standby letter of credit, they’re practically making a statement about their and their company’s financial situation. This goes a long way in establishing creditworthiness.
Businesses that are just starting might fail to land big projects because they have no legacy to back them. Companies often get cold feet about working with such individuals or businesses. However, with an SBLC, they have a solid backing of a reputed financial institution and hence can successfully compete for prestigious contracts and big-ticket projects.
The fundamental difference between a Letter of Credit and a standby letter of credit is that the former can be uncashed or discounted during a trade transaction. While an SBLC is just a safety measure and is only uncashed if any of the parties fail to honor the agreement, one cannot get an SBLC discounted if there is no default. Most trades are honored by all the parties without any irregularities and hence the SBLC is discontinued once the trade takes place.
On the other hand, while a bank guarantee only protects the buyer against a non-performing seller, SBLCs protect both the buyer and the seller — depending on the type of SBLC issued.
