Payment Guarantees

The Process

How It Works

A clear, structured process from first inquiry to fund release — so you always know exactly where your transaction stands.

Path 1

Trade Finance Path

For importers who need financing to purchase goods from an overseas supplier. We arrange the right instrument through our lender network and manage the process from approval through payment.

01

Importer submits inquiry

You share transaction details — goods type, supplier country, transaction value, and timeline.

02

We structure the instrument

We design the right financing solution — Letter of Credit, SBLC, Bank Guarantee, or Supply Chain Finance — based on your transaction.

03

Lender matched & approved

We connect you with the appropriate trade finance partner from our network. The lender reviews and approves the transaction.

04

Financing instrument issued

The instrument is issued, giving the supplier confidence to proceed with the shipment. Payment Guarantees LLC's success fee is paid by the financing institution at closing — no upfront cost to the borrower.

05

Goods shipped & inspected

The supplier ships the goods. An independent inspector verifies quality, quantity, and specification compliance.

06

Documents collected & verified

Shipping documents are collected and verified against the instrument terms — bills of lading, certificates of origin, commercial invoices.

07

Payment released to supplier

Once documents are verified and all conditions are met, payment is released to the supplier. Transaction complete.

What you can count on throughout

Importer stays in control

Payment is never released without all agreed conditions being satisfied — documents verified, goods confirmed.

Neutral intermediary

We represent neither side exclusively. Our obligation is to the integrity of the transaction.
