A bank comfort letter is a document issued by the bank on its customer’s (buyer) behalf to a supplier, assuring the supplier of the buyer’s financial ability and legitimacy in maintaining a continuous business. It is important to note that a bank comfort letter does not confirm the payment but guarantees the seller of the buyer’s stability to fulfill its promise in conducting the business. Bank issue the bank comfort letter to the supplier as confirmation of the buyer’s ability and this is accompanied by a sales and purchase agreement or purchase order.
A bank comfort letter gives assurance to the lender in the purchase of large commodities or goods or loans from its customer (borrower). In the event of the credit loan facility failing to provide a bank comfort letter on their customer’s behalf at the initial stage of purchasing the goods/ mortgage, the supplier/ tender will experience the inability of the buyer/ borrower to meet all financial needs.

How A Bank Comfort Letter Works
The purpose of a bank comfort letter is to assure a third party to a seller generally that the borrower has access to substantial financial resources to complete the transaction, like the purchase of goods. The confirmation letter sometimes referred to as the letter of comfort is not a payment guarantee, but merely an assurance to pay the borrower’s financial resources.
The bank comfort letter usually requires the signature of the bank or financial institution representatives that are authorized to issue such correspondence.
Since a confirmation letter is issued in relation to a particular transaction, it is not transferable to a separate transaction or project. If the customer of the bank decides to enter into a different deal or purchase, the customer usually needs to get a new comfort letter.
