Revolving SBLC (Standby Letter of Credit) – Continuous Payment Security for Ongoing Trade Deals | NNRV Trade Partners
Ensure Payment Security in Global Trade | 100+ SBLC-Secured Projects | Issued via SWIFT MT760
⚠️ Have You Lost a Deal Due to Lack of Continuous Payment Guarantees?
A food supplier in the Middle East lost a multi-shipment deal worth $3.2M because the buyer couldn’t issue a new SBLC for every delivery. Within 4 days, NNRV structured a Revolving SBLC through a trusted bank, restoring the deal and ensuring continuous payment coverage for the full contract.
🧠 « Without NNRV’s Revolving SBLC, we would have had to renegotiate each delivery. Their structure gave us freedom and financial security. »
🔹 What is a Revolving Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC)?
A Revolving Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a renewable financial guarantee issued by a bank to secure multiple payments under one contract. Once the SBLC is drawn upon or reaches its cycle limit, it automatically resets—either by time or value—without requiring a new issuance.
At NNRV Trade Partners, we structure Revolving SBLCs to support businesses with recurring trade deals, supply contracts, or ongoing service agreements—ensuring they never lose momentum or payment security.

📌 How Does a Revolving SBLC Work?
1️⃣ Buyer & Seller Agreement – The buyer arranges a Revolving SBLC with their issuing bank.
2️⃣ SBLC Issuance – The bank issues a Standby LC with a revolving (self-replenishing) clause.
3️⃣ First Transaction Execution – The seller ships goods or provides services, then presents the required documents for payment.
4️⃣ SBLC Reset (Revolves) – Upon payment release, the SBLC amount resets automatically or periodically (monthly, quarterly, etc.).
🔄 This process repeats automatically until the SBLC expires or the contract is fully executed.
📋 Required Documents for Revolving SBLC Issuance
To issue a Revolving SBLC, we require:
✔ Sales Contract / Proforma Invoice – Defines terms & trade conditions.
✔ Company Registration Documents – Business license, incorporation certificate.
✔ Financial Statements (6-12 Months) – Bank reports & audited financials.
✔ Shipping Documents – Bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, insurance.
✔ Letter of Credit Application Form – Specifies SBLC terms & structure.
