Present the transaction behind your trade-finance request.

For a request made through icbank.us, start with the commercial transaction: who buys, who sells, what is supplied, when performance is due and how payment is expected. Identify the instrument or financing requirement separately from the underlying contract.

ICBANK · U.S. & Singapore

Explain the buyer, seller and obligation

Provide the parties’ legal names, countries and roles, together with the contract or invoice and the amount and currency. State whether the request concerns a documentary letter of credit, standby letter of credit, guarantee or related financing. Describe the obligation to be supported rather than relying only on an instrument abbreviation.

Connect documents to the transaction timeline

Prepare delivery or shipment details, performance milestones, payment dates and the proposed instrument expiry. If a beneficiary has requested wording, provide the complete draft together with the underlying contract. Flag differences between names, currencies, amounts, deadlines or documentary requirements before review.

Identify responsibilities before execution

Clarify who would issue, advise, confirm or otherwise provide the requested service, and which entity would coordinate the request. Ask for the relevant jurisdiction, costs, conditions and formal documentation. A submission or preliminary discussion is not an instrument issuance, financing approval or commitment to pay.

FAQ

Questions before you apply

Can I submit only an instrument name and amount?

Those details do not explain the underlying trade. Include parties, purpose, contract, timing and the requested wording or conditions.

Does submission guarantee issuance?

No. The request remains subject to review, the responsible provider’s acceptance and formal documentation.

Where do I submit the transaction documents?

Use the existing secure new-service application. Existing clients should use their authenticated channels for account activity.
