Financial Standby

A Financial Standby is a standby letter of credit issued to support a specific financial obligation of the applicant. Banks, corporations, and governments use Financial Standbys to provide a guarantee that obligations will be met in specific scenarios, such as non-payment or default on a loan.

Examples include:

  1. Loan repayment guarantees.
  2. Commercial paper obligations.
  3. Lease payment assurances.
  4. Bond performance guarantees.

A Financial Standby specifies exact numeric values for obligations. Details include the beneficiary’s right to draw funds upon predefined conditions being met.
