Yes – that’s the primary purpose of obtaining an SKR. Once you have the SKR from Prominence Bank, you can present it to potential lenders or investors as proof that you have valuable assets locked in a reputable bank’s custody. Many lenders are willing to lend against an SKR, treating it similar to other bank-backed collateral. In some cases, Prominence Bank itself (or partner institutions) might extend a Lombard loan against your SKR – essentially lending you a percentage of the asset’s value, with the SKR as security . Alternatively, you might engage a third-party financing company or even use the SKR to assure a counterparty in a business deal. The SKR can be verified by the lender via SWIFT – for instance, we can send a SWIFT MT542 message to confirm the SKR’s details to any bank that requests verification . This gives the lender confidence the SKR is authentic and the asset is real. Keep in mind, if you do take a loan against the SKR, the terms of that loan are between you and the lender – but from our side, we would acknowledge a lien and only release the asset when the lender gives clearance (or the loan is paid off). It’s a very effective way to leverage your assets without selling them.
