The standby letter of credit is termed by United States banking legislation which forbids US banks and credit institutions to issue guarantees. The standby letter of credit issued by US banks and credit institutions is based on Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600).

The bank issuing the Standby letter of credit ensures the credit check of the party seeking the letter of credit by performing underwriting duties. Then it sends notification to the bank of the party seeking the letter of credit.

Standby letter of credit (SBLC) can be used for following purposes:

1) It ensures guarantee of payment after a contract or bid has been awarded.

2) It acts as advance funds to the seller by the buyer for purchase of materials for certain project.

3) It backs up the seller obligations if he doesn't perform in accordance with the terms of contract.

4) It backs up obligations of underwriting.

5) It assures that project will run smoothly after completion until warranty period.

6) It acts as collateral for loan. It also helps in getting lower interest rate on the loan.

7) It helps in getting tax-exempt financing for investing in equipment that protect the environment.

8) When securing assets, it reduces the portfolio risk.

9) It improves the credit ratings of bonds, notes, securities or any kind of commercial paper supported by letter of credit.

10) It enables commercial paper program to obtain higher quality rating which provides low cost & short term financing along with liquidity facility.
