Issuance Procedure

  1. 1. Initial Application — Submit your basic commercial request, application form, or share the transaction pro forma invoice. The bank proposes the preliminary draft.
  2. 2. Draft Revision — The instrument draft is jointly reviewed by all relevant commercial parties. Necessary adjustments are applied swiftly within regulatory boundaries.
  3. 3. Approved Documentation — Once the draft is approved, you return the signed/stamped draft with company registry, list of shareholders, and authorized signatory passport copy.
  4. 4. Agreement & Invoice — We calculate the exact facilitation fee (one-time) and sign the advisory service contract. The fee must be processed prior to SWIFT transmission.
  5. 5. SWIFT Transmission — Upon securing the facilitation fee, the Tier-1 bank executes the final SWIFT transmission of your instrument to the beneficiary within 7-10 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SBLC (Standby Letter of Credit) and how does it work?

A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC - MT760) acts as a bank-backed payment guarantee of last resort, issued by a buyer's bank to a seller's (beneficiary's) bank. If the buyer defaults on payment, the issuing bank covers the amount. It serves to reduce risk in high-value international trade deals.

How does Vouno facilitate these instruments with a 0% Cash Margin?

Traditional retail banks require you to freeze up to 100% of the instrument value in cash or hard collateral, locking up your critical working capital. Vouno leverages structured corporate relationships with elite Tier-1 global institutions to pre-qualify and authorize draft compliance, waiving standard 100% retail cash deposit requirements.

What is the difference between an SBLC (MT760) and a Documentary Letter of Credit (LC - MT700)?

A Documentary Letter of Credit (LC - MT700) is a primary, active payment mechanism used frequently in commodity trade where the bank pays immediately upon presentation of compliant shipping documents. An SBLC (MT760) is a secondary payment guarantee, triggered only as a safety net if the applicant fails to fulfill direct payment obligations.

What exact corporate documents are required to clear compliance?

To clear compliance and approve SWIFT release, the issuing bank requires: a signed and stamped instrument draft, a valid Commercial Register / Certificate of Incorporation, a list of company shareholders and Board Resolution, and valid passport copies of authorized corporate signatories.

Who are the Tier-1 issuing banks, and are they universally accepted?

Vouno routes transactions exclusively through elite, investment-grade international institutions such as Societe Generale France and other leading European and global money-center banks. These instruments are universally accepted across global trade centers, clearing houses, and international commercial departments.

What fees are involved and when are they payable?

A transparent, one-time structured facilitation fee is calculated based on the instrument type, duration, and face value. Following standard international banking protocol, the fee is payable only after draft approval and immediately before final SWIFT transmission. No upfront fees are required before initial drafting.
