Confirmation of Principal — FAQ & Client Benefits

🔹 What Is the Confirmation of Principal?

The Confirmation of Principal is a formal bank-issued acknowledgment that identifies who the true Principal is in a transaction and confirms that all parties are dealing directly and transparently with that Principal.

It is commonly used when:

• A broker, mandate, or intermediary introduces a transaction

• The bank needs to confirm there is only one Principal

• Privacy, authority, and fee protection must be clearly defined

🛡️ Why This Document Exists

International banking transactions require absolute clarity on:

• Who controls the transaction

• Who has authority to proceed

• Who is entitled to fees

The Confirmation of Principal removes ambiguity and protects all parties by locking this information in writing.
