• Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC) – An irrevocable guarantee instrument, the SBLC is widely used to secure contractual or financial obligations. AFETOP assists its clients in defining their needs, preparing the file and connecting with issuing banks.

Fundraising Advisory and Financial Structuring

Beyond instruments, AFETOP acts as a financial architect. We advise our clients on the most relevant financing schemes (senior debt, mezzanine, structured finance) and mobilise our global network to connect projects with capital. Our strength lies in a deep understanding of liquidity providers’ expectations and our ability to present perfectly framed dossiers.

Financial Due Diligence and KYC/AML Compliance

Trust is built, not decreed. Every transaction we support undergoes thorough due diligence and strict verification of the parties involved, in full compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti‑Money Laundering) standards. This rigour protects our clients and preserves the integrity of our partnerships with top-tier banks.
