Bank Comfort Letter
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
Bank Comfort Letter. It is a letter issued from the buyer's financial institution to the vendor. This letter states that the buyer has sufficient funds to cover the cost of the order. A financial institution comfort letter is one of the first pieces of documentation that a prospective buyer must provide toa vendor in order to negotiate a deal. It is not an agreement to pay the vendor anything, nor does it make the financial institution liable in any way.
