Saadiq Corporate & Institutional Banking

Islamic Trade Finance

Imagine a trading environment where you can be sure of timely payments from your buyers and minimise concerns about paying your suppliers. Think how much easier your business would be if your domestic trade ran smoothly, your exports were processed quickly and accurately, and your imports were cleared efficiently on favourable terms. Not to mention doing all this without foregoing the essence of the Islamic values. Our Islamic Trade Finance products offer you precisely these benefits.


Letter of Credit-i

A written undertaking by Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad (“SCSB”) to make payment on your behalf at a determinable date in the future. Based on the Islamic concept of Wakalah, SCSB is appointed to act as an agent on your behalf.

Alternatively, LC-i is also available under the concept of Murabahah where you will be appointed as an agent to purchase on behalf of SCSB. Upon receipt of the shipping documents, you will submit offer to purchase goods from SCSB at cost plus profit basis.

LC Confirmation-i

LC Confirmation-i is a confirmation added by SCSB to the Letter of Credit (“LC”) received by you as the LC Beneficiary. It is based on the concept of Kafalah Bil Ujrah where SCSB will confirm the LC and undertake to honour the drafts drawn under the LC once you have presented the compliant documents against the LC terms. A fee for the risk undertaking will be charged by SCSB. This LC Confirmation-i is governed by UCP600.

By requesting for the LC to be confirmed, you confirm that the underlying Trade Transactions are compliant with the principles of Shariah.

Bank Guarantee-i (BG-i)

An undertaking by the bank to pay the beneficiary an agreed sum if our customer fails or defaults in fulfilling their obligations under the terms and conditions of a contract or agreement. Based on the Islamic concept of Kafalah, we offer a contract of guarantee or surety to discharge your liability in the case of default.

Shipping Guarantee-i (SG-i)

A Shipping Guarantee is an indemnity given by you and countersigned by the bank, to a shipping company or its agent to allow the shipping company to release the merchandise to the consignee named in the Bill of Lading without the presentation of the original. Based on the Islamic concept of Kafalah, we offer a contract of guarantee or surety to discharge your liability in the case of default.

Import Finance-i (IF-i)
