Borrow Funds and/or Collateral
At Quay Financial we step beyond conventional domestic lending protocols to offer fast, effective solutions
Many borrowers and lenders operate within familiar domestic frameworks, where lending practices are shaped by local precedents and expectations.
This can sometimes limit access to innovative or flexible funding solutions.
Collateral to support your loan
If your funding needs meet our criteria and your proposal is aligned with our objectives, we can provide additional collateral on a full-risk basis to support your loan application. This is possible because we maintain a dedicated reserve of collateral.
The collateral we offer is sourced and secured internationally. All financing is provided on a fully secured basis, with all counterparties experienced in cross-border transactions and international security arrangements.
Fast, effective funding
We hold and arrange funds in multiple major currencies such as USD, GBP, and EUR to facilitate international borrowers.
By stepping beyond conventional domestic lending protocols, we are able to offer fast, effective solutions to many of the challenges borrowers face in securing adequate funding, especially complex transactions and where the borrower has security and business in more than one country.
Process & Timeline
Our process is structured into four key stages, designed to ensure clarity, efficiency, and security throughout your funding journey.
We begin by requesting key information from you to assess your proposal. Upon receipt, we conduct a prompt evaluation to determine whether we will extend an Initial Agreement, allowing progression to the Loan Letter of Intent and Collateral Commitment stages.
Timeframe: We will confirm our position within 3 business days of receiving the requested information.
This document outlines the core terms of the proposed loan and the steps ahead. Once both parties engage under the LOI, we will activate and prepare any additional collateral required. At this stage, you’ll be informed of any further documentation or actions needed on your part to progress to the Loan Commitment stage.
Timeframe: Typically completed within 7 days to 4 weeks, depending on the transaction complexity and your responsiveness.
Here, we formalise the loan terms and detail the collateral being pledged. Final due diligence steps—such as surveys, valuations, and legal reviews—are carried out, and legal counsel is appointed to prepare for completion.
Timeframe: This stage generally takes between 2 weeks and 2 months, depending on the transaction type and the efficiency of all parties involved (including surveyors, legal teams, and you).
Once all documentation is finalised and executed, the security is formally pledged, and the loan funds are disbursed.
Timeframe: Completion is typically achieved within 1 to 3 business days. Your appointed lawyer will usually handle this stage on your behalf.
