Courtesy Deposits might be the biggest funding secret banks never bother to explain — real cash placed in a bank to unlock massive project financing.

In this episode, we cover: • What Courtesy Deposits actually are — and why banks value them so highly • How real cash collateral speeds up approvals and improves loan terms • The key differences between Courtesy Deposits and SBLCs • Why CDs reduce risk for lenders and increase leverage for project sponsors • How this overlooked strategy quietly powers major real estate and infrastructure deals Want to learn more?
