Proof of Funds
Many times clients do not have the Proof of Funds that a funding source requires. We have a service that provides $100,000 to $200,000,000 and recently closed a $500,000,000 Proof of Funds for us. Each case is individually underwritten and the fee is determined by length of time the funds are required and certain risk factors. We close these quickly – two business days.
This came in yesterday from our CO POF Source:
We offer full cash account and proof of funds for clients for an upfront fee. Typically these products are available for 60 days per fee. The fee varies as we have several providers and investors we work with. The accounts are electronically swiftable and verifiable. We can in some cases do overseas funds. Typically we can have accounts created in clients names in 3-4 days at maximum. These are not only for show purposes they can be blocked by the client in most cases bringing a much higher degree of flexibility to the instruments for various uses. We typically don’t like to do accounts for under 100m but we do have the ability. 100-500m are typical client needs. Funds are held at different banks — but we have been working with Wells Fargo a lot recently but do have other major US banks available depending on the source we engage. We do have some ability to do overseas banks like Royal Bank of Canada, etc. We work with great speed and care once clients have wired the funds for the initial 60 days.
I would like to stress that our role is to ensure delivery of clean and useful cash accounts/POF instruments. We will not take responsibility for what the client does with the instruments. We love to assist but it is not our role to educate or facilitate back end transactions, so any help we render in this area is above and beyond what we are responsible for. Due to there being a lot of window shoppers, lets make sure we are working with serious, financially sophisticated clients who have funds and are ready to move them to get started.
Update February 4th:
Can you provide a step by step, sample contract, sample verbiage of swift form ?
Will they swift via MT700 ?
What are the fees?
Many questions. If you can, please provide as much as possible, want to check with a
client who is very interested in POF, depending on info they can provide.
Also, have you been able to use these guys ? closed successfully? High confidence in
their ability to come through?
Wells Fargo and swifting are very important aspects, eager to find out more.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Frank
Absolutely have closed these cash accounts. Busy handling clients we have currently. I will get back to you but things are changing as we are working on improving the structure. We are the ones pulling down the accounts so I feel very confident.
Fees are also changing due to clients doing many procedures for one account. 100m would cost 2.7 or so for 60 days. Rough estimate. It does depend on what the client requires. The bank the client is working with will dictate what procedures are possible. Mt799s are usually possible and in some cases more can be done. No 760s with US funds, same goes for pinging. Verbiage is generally provided to us by client. We are looking for educated clients.
