Performance Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC) – Secure Contract Execution with Bank Guarantees | NNRV Trade Partners
Ensuring Project Compliance in Global Trade | 150+ Contracts Secured via Performance SBLCs | Issued via SWIFT MT760
⚠️ Have you lost a project due to lack of performance guarantees?
A construction firm in West Africa recently forfeited a $5M advance payment when their client demanded a performance bond. Within 48 hours, NNRV arranged a Performance SBLC from a top-tier bank, enabling the project to proceed and safeguarding their financial interests.
🧠 « The Performance SBLC from NNRV was our safety net. It gave our client the confidence to release the milestone payments without delay. »
💼 What is a Performance SBLC?
A Performance Standby Letter of Credit is a bank guarantee ensuring contractual obligations are met. If a party fails to deliver as agreed, the beneficiary can claim compensation under the SBLC. This instrument is critical for:
Construction projects
Government tenders
Supply chain agreements
Service contracts
At NNRV Trade Partners, we provide Performance SBLCs to mitigate risk, ensure contractual compliance, and build trust between parties.

Project execution begins – Work proceeds per contract terms.
