Collateral for Credit Facilities $5 million minimum

I’ve known Dane for a few years. he is one of five proof of funds providers that we do business with. This is an email that he sent me yesterday.

Do you have a transaction for which you require collateral?

Product Overview

We’ve just unveiled a new product to the marketplace which does not put the client’s initial funds at risk.  No funds are released from escrow until after an acceptable instrument has been received by the client’s lending institution from an acceptable issuing bank.

These instruments may be used as the primary and/or only source of collateral for a credit facility.  Do you have a transaction for which you are trying to obtain funding through your lender and need a source of collateral that’s safe and reliable?

The issuance fees are not put at risk, they are simply put into any mutually acceptable third party escrow account where they will stay until acceptable collateral is delivered as agreed; We may even be able to allow an acceptable bank pay order for the payment of fees contingent upon delivery of acceptable collateral.

Our bank communicates with your bank prior to deployment and execution of agreements.  We are not leasing or joint venturing to provide assets, we are issuing our clients’ lender an irrevocable guarantee of principal and interest paid at maturity.

The bank instruments can be used for any legitimate, legal financial transaction where a client has the ability to get a loan with his lender with acceptable collateral.  Read below for additional details.

a. Banks discuss and come to terms on acceptable instrument text.

7. POF orders its bank to initiate and finalize the transaction between the banks.

15. Client’s bank perfects payment on the bank instrument at its maturity date (12 months from its date of issue).
