Toronto, Canada – In today’s high-stakes world of global real estate, energy, infrastructure, and commodities trading, having immediate and verifiable Proof of Funds (POF) can mean the difference between closing a deal and losing it.
GTFSolutions (GTFS), Canada’s trusted name in structured trade finance, is helping agents and brokers secure ironclad, bank-issued Proof of Funds for their clients, ensuring trust, transparency, and transaction speed in a competitive international market.
Proof of funds letters are critical in establishing buyer credibility, whether demonstrating financial readiness to a seller, gaining entry to a competitive bid process, or satisfying compliance requirements in cross-border trade.
GTFS offers end-to-end solutions for brokers and their clients, including standard and verifiable POF letters backed by top-tier institutions and issued under SWIFT protocols when necessary.
Why Proof of Funds Matters
“Deals today move at the speed of confidence,” said Alexander Jean-Baptiste, CEO of GTFS. “When a buyer can show they have the money and that it’s been verified by a recognized financial institution, the seller takes them seriously—and the deal moves forward.”
GTFS helps brokers secure three types of Proof of Funds based on the needs of the transaction:
- Standard Bank Letters (Client-name POF)
- Escrow-based Proof of Funds
- SWIFT MT799 Proof of Funds Verification
Each instrument is tailored to the client’s sector, region, and deal requirements, ensuring full compliance and rapid acceptance from counterparties, sellers, and regulators.
Case Study 1: Proof of Funds Secures Access to Off-Market Real Estate Portfolio
In early 2025, a broker representing an American investor sought access to an exclusive off-market real estate portfolio in Paris valued at €110 million. The seller demanded verifiable Proof of Funds as a precondition to access.
GTFS issued a bank-confirmed Proof of Funds letter with a 15-day validity, delivered through a Tier 1 European banking partner. The seller verified the POF via secure bank contact and immediately granted access to the data room. The deal advanced to contract within three weeks.
“The GTFS Proof of Funds letter turned a cold lead into a live deal. The seller’s lawyers didn’t ask questions—they just nodded,” said the broker involved.
Case Study 2: Commodities Deal Fast-Tracked by Escrow-Based POF
A commodities agent working with a buyer in Ghana needed to demonstrate financial readiness to secure an allocation of Brazilian soybeans. The seller refused to entertain LOIS without hard evidence of liquidity.
GTFS arranged for the buyer to place funds in escrow with a banking partner in the U.K. and issued an escrow-based Proof of Funds letter confirming the buyer’s ability to transact. This satisfied the seller’s conditions and unlocked a $62 million shipment.
“This was a game changer,” said the agent. “No delays, no drama—just a POF that did exactly what it needed to.”
