Standby Letter of Credit-i (SBLC-i)
Standby Letter of Credit-i is often used as a financial guarantee. It ensures payment if and when the applicant fails to repay an advancement made to him/her; or for the beneficiary to demand payment when the applicant fails on his/her part of the agreement. It is also intended to cover any NON-PERFORMANCE or failure of the applicant to fulfill a contractual commitment with a third party.
In countries where banks are prohibited from issuing guarantees, SBLC-i is the most appropriate method used. It guarantees applicant’s performance, indebtedness or repayment. SBLC-i is activated in the event of ‘default’ or ‘non-performance’ by the applicant. It is a substitute for a guarantee and governed by Uniform Custom Practice 600.
