Questions
Can you confirm the SBLC is real?
Only the issuing bank can confirm an SBLC, bank to bank by SWIFT. Our check shows the discrepancies and what to ask your own bank before you rely on it.
Do you contact the bank or the other side?
We never contact your buyer or seller unless you order a site visit. Your deal stays yours. The check is done on the document you upload.
What does it cost?
The free basic check is free: 2 a day per person, with your e-mail, no card. The Deal Check is USD 8.88 per deal, automated, result in minutes.
What documents can I upload?
An SBLC, MT760 or MT799 copy, a bank letter, an FCO or a bill of lading, as a PDF or a photo.
Can I check if an SBLC is real from a PDF?
No. A PDF or screenshot can be typed by anyone. A standby letter of credit is issued by a bank over SWIFT (usually MT760) and can only be confirmed through the receiving bank. We check the company, the bank details and the wording, and confirm bank instruments bank to bank only.
What is the difference between MT760 and MT799?
MT799 is a free-format message between banks and creates no payment obligation. MT760 is used to issue a guarantee or standby letter of credit, which can create a bank undertaking under its own terms.
Is it normal to pay a fee to receive an SBLC?
Upfront "lease", "transmission" or "release" fees paid to a third-party provider are one of the most common signs of SBLC fraud. Speak to your own bank before paying anything.
What do I get from a check?
A report that states what was verified, what could not be verified and any discrepancies, ending with a recommendation: proceed, proceed with conditions, or stop.
