TORONTO, CANADA — GTFSolutions.ca, a leading authority in financial instruments and structured financing, proudly announces its expanded services for brokers and agents seeking access to Letters of Credit (LCS) — one of the most trusted and widely accepted trade finance tools in the world.
With an emphasis on speed, compliance, and strategic customization, GTFS now provides broker-accessible Letters of Credit issuance and advisory support, unlocking a new level of deal facilitation and transaction security across sectors.
This expansion comes as businesses increasingly turn to brokers for alternative financing solutions amid growing global banking conservatism. GTFS’s LC service is tailored to help financial intermediaries deliver credible funding tools to their clients in trade finance, project procurement, commercial real estate, or international development.
What Is a Letter of Credit and Why Does It Matter
A Letter of Credit (LC) is a financial instrument issued by a bank or financial institution on behalf of a buyer, guaranteeing payment to a seller upon fulfillment of specific terms. It’s a cornerstone of international trade and is often required when:
- Buyers and sellers lack a prior relationship
- Projects span multiple jurisdictions
- Trust and payment assurance are essential
- Suppliers need confirmation of buyer solvency
- Governments or agencies require verified funding support
By providing LC issuance capabilities, GTFS equips brokers with the power to secure deals, build trust, and shorten negotiation cycles — a game-changer for intermediaries working with international buyers, import/export clients, infrastructure projects, or high-value asset deals.
GTFS for Brokers: Access to Institutional Letters of Credit
GTFS offers a turnkey LC solution for approved brokers and agents who need to arrange Letters of Credit on behalf of clients. Backed by a global network of issuing banks and custodial partners, GTFS delivers:
- Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS)

- Transferable and Confirmed LCS

Letters can be issued supporting commodities, real estate acquisition, trade shipments, EPC contracts, technology licensing, and more — in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AED, and other major currencies.
Case Study: Trade Finance for a Latin American Coffee Exporter
In 2024, a Toronto-based broker representing a Latin American coffee cooperative approached GTFS to secure a Documentary Letter of Credit for a $4.2 million shipment to a German distributor. The exporter lacked direct access to international banks, while the buyer insisted on an LC for payment security.
GTFS issued the DLC through a European banking partner within five business days after compliance clearance. The LC ensured:
- Full buyer commitment
- Risk mitigation for the exporter
- Fast release of shipment
- Completion of a deal that would’ve otherwise stalled
“The LC from GTFS saved the transaction,” said the broker. “Our client shipped confidently, and the buyer gained verified assurance.”
Benefits for Brokers and Agents
GTFS’s broker-first LC program is designed to simplify complex financial instrument delivery for intermediaries working on tight deadlines and challenging mandates. Key benefits include:
- Access to Top-Tier Issuing Banks: GTFS partners with banks in Europe, Asia, and offshore jurisdictions that understand trade finance
- Speed and Efficiency: Letters can be issued within 72–120 hours post-compliance and client document review
- Full Broker Support: GTFS guides brokers through structuring, pricing, and client education
- Custom Terms: LC validity, format, and conditions can be tailored to meet project-specific needs
- White-Label Capabilities: LCS can be offered under broker branding (upon agreement) for discretion and market presence
“Brokers no longer need to tell clients ‘no’ when asked about Letters of Credit,” said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations at GTFS. “We’ve built a plug-and-play system that allows them to say ‘yes’ — backed by credible, bank-issued instruments.”
Compliance-Centric and Risk-Managed
At a time when global scrutiny of financial instruments is at an all-time high, GTFS remains committed to transparency and risk control. Every LC issued undergoes rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer), AML (Anti-Money Laundering), and due diligence protocols to ensure the legitimacy of the client, project, and purpose.
“We’re not in the business of issuing blank checks,” said Linda Martinez, Legal Advisor to GTFS. “We ensure every LC aligns with regulatory standards and ethical funding practices. Brokers and their clients can count on that integrity.”
