4. Instruments Are Not Investments
A standby letter of credit is a secondary payment mechanism supporting an underlying commercial obligation. It is not an investment, security, trading programme, income product or source of return.
MRD does not participate in, endorse or facilitate instrument trading, monetization schemes, private placement programmes, high-yield programmes or any similar arrangement, and will discontinue discussions where such arrangements are proposed.

Nothing published or communicated by MRD constitutes legal, tax, accounting, banking, investment or financial advice. Applicants must obtain independent professional advice and deal directly with their own institution.
