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.

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.
