The Concern with issuing an SBLC:
Historically, there has been a security issue when issuing an SBLC (SWIFT 760.) Briefly, the SBLC can be monetized by criminals, and the sender is vulnerable, primarily if the recipient is based in a third-world country.
Our Solution:
The buyer DOES NOT have to present funds or the SBLC to a third-world country.
C7 Associates has resolved the problem by building commercial partnerships with regulated entities in the USA. One such entity is Tilgent Capital Trust a Registered Statutory Trust. Tilgent manages over $250 Billion of assets for its clients and has been registered in part to overcome the historical issue with safety.
Mr Curt Barnes is the President and Trustee of Tilgent, a statutory trust registered in Delaware, USA. Should Tilgent breach guidelines and fail to follow the set-out procedure, this will result in Mr Barnes being struck off and no longer able to work in the highly regulated financial sector again, as well as him receiving a custodial sentence.
Mr Barnes has commercial relationships with many of the top 100 banks in the United States and Europe. These banks are the receiving banks for payment guarantees.

-
Based, Governed and Regulated in the USA
-

-

Note: If the Buyer issuing bank is known, i.e., Deutsche Bank, then Mr Barnes will engage and instruct an appropriate bank to facilitate a simple transaction; in this example, it would also be Deutsche Bank. If the Buyer’s SBLC issuing bank is in Africa, it is a requirement that the corresponding bank is a global top 50 bank, e.g., Citibank.
