From bank instruments and credit facilities to structured commodity finance and export credit advisory — we provide the expertise and institutional network to execute complex transactions.
Bank Instruments
BG · SBLC · MTN · Bonds
Fectomoyal Mendycalio arranges the issuance, leasing, monetisation, and collateral deployment of prime bank instruments through top-rated European financial institutions. These instruments are used for trading programmes, credit facility collateral, business enhancement, and loan-on-collateral structures.
BG — Bank Guarantees
We facilitate the issuance and monetisation of Bank Guarantees (BGs) through top-rated European and international banks. BGs are used as collateral instruments, credit enhancement tools, and assurance in trade and project finance transactions.
Common Uses
SBLC — Standby Letters of Credit
Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs) issued by top-rated European banks are arranged for clients requiring a reliable payment guarantee or collateral instrument. SBLCs are widely accepted for monetisation, leasing, and as security for credit facilities.
Common Uses
MTN — Medium Term Notes
We advise on the placement and trading of Medium Term Notes (MTNs) issued by sovereign-backed and investment-grade institutions. MTNs are used in private placement programmes, structured finance, and yield enhancement strategies.
Common Uses
Bonds — Sovereign & Corporate Bonds
We advise on the acquisition, trading, and collateral use of sovereign and corporate bonds sourced through regulated European financial institutions. Bonds are used as collateral for credit facilities, secured lending structures, and business enhancement programmes.

How We Work
Instrument Delivery & Deployment
All instruments are issued or sourced through regulated, investment-grade European banks and delivered via SWIFT MT760, MT799, or equivalent authenticated messaging. We manage the full process from mandate to delivery, ensuring compliance with ICC rules and applicable regulatory frameworks.
Whether the instrument is required for a trading programme, as collateral for a credit facility, or to enhance a business's borrowing capacity, our team structures the engagement to meet the specific requirements of the receiving institution.

Additional Trade Finance Services
Letters of Credit
We advise and structure all forms of documentary credit including import and export LCs, standby letters of credit, transferable LCs, and back-to-back instruments. Our team works with issuing and confirming banks to ensure seamless execution under UCP 600.
Trade Risk Mitigation
Identifying and managing risk is fundamental to successful international trade. We provide comprehensive risk assessments covering counterparty credit risk, political and country risk, foreign exchange exposure, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
Cross-Border Financing
We structure and arrange pre- and post-shipment financing, invoice discounting, supply chain finance programmes, and receivables purchase facilities — connecting clients with financial institutions suited to their transaction profile.
Export Credit Advisory
Export credit agency programmes and government-backed guarantees require specialist knowledge. We advise on ECA-backed facilities from UK Export Finance, Euler Hermes, Bpifrance, and multilateral development bank programmes.
Correspondent Banking
Our established relationships with correspondent banks in 60+ countries allow us to facilitate transactions in markets where direct banking access is limited. We act as an intermediary to connect clients with trusted financial partners.
Structured Commodity Finance
We design bespoke financing structures for commodity traders, processors, and producers in energy, metals, soft commodities, and agriculture — including borrowing base facilities, repo structures, and warehouse receipt financing.
Bank Guarantee Advisory
We advise on all forms of demand guarantees and suretyships under URDG 758 and local law frameworks — from bid bonds and performance guarantees to advance payment guarantees and retention bonds.
Trade Finance Restructuring
When existing trade finance arrangements need to be renegotiated or restructured, we provide independent advisory support — reviewing existing facilities, identifying improvements, and managing bank negotiations on behalf of clients.
Asset Monetisation
We advise on the monetisation of financial assets including bank guarantees, standby letters of credit, and other bank instruments. Our structured approach enables clients to extract liquidity from existing instruments through leasing, discounting, and secured lending arrangements with prime bank counterparties.
MTN & Bonds Monetisation
Advisory and facilitation for Medium Term Note (MTN) programmes and bond monetisation structures. We work with issuers, investors, and intermediaries to structure, place, and monetise MTN instruments and corporate/sovereign bonds through our network of European and international bank counterparties.
