Previous Transmitted issued Swift Copies, Track Record & Verification

 

Q10: Can I verify your past performance?

A: Yes. we can provide redacted SWIFT MT760 copies linked to specific project name. You can also see evidence that the receiving/lending bank granted a credit line facility based on the specific linked of the transmitted/issued SBLC – for example, funding for a start-up construction project. All borrower, applicant, and beneficiary names are redacted for confidentiality.  In addition, we can permit you to view some of our previously transmitted and issued Swift 760, 799, 199, 700, and Bank Email RWA Copies as our proven track records.

Q11: Can I contact your past clients or their banks directly for verification?

A: No. Banking secrecy laws prevent any bank officer from revealing transaction details to a third party. Even another bank cannot obtain such confirmation directly from the issuing bank. The client must rely on the redacted evidence provided, my track records, our Questions & Answers Session and the contract terms which is drawn to protect all parties fairly.

Q12: Can a third party (bank or lawyer) verify your SWIFT copies with SWIFT.com or the issuing bank?

A: No, not credibly. SWIFT.com is an international independent server system where banks record their messages. However, due to banking secrecy, no bank officer will disclose transaction details to a third party. Therefore, verification ultimately rests on the client's own discretion based on the Swift transmitted issued copies, previous track records evidence, our profile and our Q&A session.

Type of bank instruments

 

Q13: Is this a Lease or Rental bank instrument?

A: The word "Lease or Rental" is not in the SBLC/BG contents or any requested bank instrument. When a bank instrument such as SBLC or BG is transmitted via Swift MT 760 and issued from the issuing bank to the client’s nominated receiving bank, the SBLC beneficiary is the 100% ownership of the SBLC and its face value for one year and one day recognized by the banks and international authorities.

 

Q14: What is the Annual Investment Return Fee/Success Fee?

A: The Annual Investment Return fee / Success Fee is the fee that the Client/Sblc beneficiary has to pay within 15 working days after receipt of the Swift SBLC in his favor for his commercial usage and finance benefits for one year and one day period.

Q15: Can I extend the bank instrument including SBLC, BG for second year?

A: Yes. The SBLC/BG can be extended for up to three (3) years on year to year basis at prevailing rate.

Issuing Fee & Refund

Q16: Is the refund clause written in the contract?

A1: Any sensible Client who requested for SBLC/BG/DLC should recognized that it carry issuing fee to be paid in advance before the requested SBLC/BG can be transmited and issued to the Client's nominated receiving bank. No True Provider is so crazy to issue requested bank instrument without carrying issuing fee. 

A2: Yes. If we fail to deliver our obligation as per the signed contract agreement under Singapore law. we will refund the full upfront issuing fee within 7 working days accordingly. This clause is explicitly stated in the contract agreement, transparent for all parties involved and protect all parties fairly. So far, We have never failed to deliver our obligation for such financial transaction. If we have no confident to deliver our obligation successfully - we will never receive client's issuing fee and we will not proceed.

A3: Why need to pay issuing fee in advance? Why i cannot receive SBLC/BG without upfront issuing fee?

Client has a choice. Client can walk into their bank and request their bank to issue a LC/BG on their behalf to their Supplier's receiving bank and pay later or Client can walk into Macdonald restaurant for a good meal and pay later. The answer is there.

Q17: Can the upfront fee be placed in escrow or held by a law firm?

A: No. This is not accepted because the issuing bank deducts its bank charges upfront from the SBLC/BG applicant's (issuer's) account before blocking the facility and before issuing the requested SWIFT 760 SBLC/BG to the client's nominated receiving bank. Therefore, the upfront issuing fee must be paid via bank wire transfer directly to my Singapore corporate bank account of the Singapore Principal Provider as stated in the contract agreement.

____________________________________________________________

 

Trust & Decision to Proceed

 

Q18: What if I am still hesitant after reviewing your profile and track record?

A: Then we simply cannot proceed. I do not convince or persuade. This is a serious financial transaction – not a commodity sale or a mobile phone purchase. The client must have full confidence after reviewing my "3 Things to Know" which is my profile, the redacted SWIFT copies previously transmitted and delivered successfully and the Q&A session. If confidence is lacking, there is no middle ground. We part ways professionally with no hard feelings.

 

Q19: Do you attend Q&A sessions?

A: Yes. I can attend Q&A session with any client or borrower to address all the related questions. To date, I have answered all questions asked. Once the client/borrower has confidence in me, we proceed according to my payment terms and procedure with complete transparency written in the contract agreement under Singapore law.

Final Note from the Provider

 

"I am not a mobile phone salesman to convince a buyer to buy. This is a financial transaction, not a commodity shipment transaction. I have my set of obligation and responsibility. The Client should also recognized their own set of obligation and responsibility. In such financical transaction - Miracle happens every day."

"I have simple brain thinking - I cannot risk my business of 30+ years built in Singapore, and my family, my home are all on the line. I have never failed to deliver for such financial transaction."
