⚠️ Have You Lost a Deal Due to Lack of Transferable Payment Guarantees?
A Dubai-based intermediary coordinating a $4.5M trade deal between a European buyer and Asian suppliers struggled to secure trust across the chain. With NNRV’s help, they structured a Transferable SBLC through a top-tier bank within 72 hours, securing supplier confidence and ensuring timely execution.
🧠 « Without NNRV’s Transferable SBLC, we couldn’t have completed the deal. It gave us the credibility we needed. »
📌 What is a Transferable SBLC?
A Transferable Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a financial guarantee issued by a buyer’s bank in favor of a primary beneficiary (usually an intermediary or trader), who can then transfer part or all of the SBLC value to one or more secondary beneficiaries (such as suppliers or subcontractors).
📌 Unlike standard SBLCs, Transferable SBLCs are designed for multi-party transactions where the payment assurance must flow through the chain.
At NNRV Trade Partners, we structure Transferable SBLCs to empower intermediaries, EPC contractors, and global traders to execute large, multi-supplier deals securely and without upfront capital.
✅ Governed by ISP98 or UCP 600
✅ Issued via SWIFT MT760
✅ Accepted by global suppliers, traders, and financial institutions
🚀 Key Benefits of a Transferable SBLC
✅ Facilitates Supplier Payment – Guarantees suppliers are paid without buyer’s upfront cash
✅ Multi-Party Coordination – Allows flexible distribution of credit among subcontractors
✅ Enhances Intermediary Credibility – Boosts trust with large buyers and suppliers
✅ Reduces Cash Flow Pressure – Avoids the need to pre-finance trade execution
✅ Global Compliance – Structured under international banking rules (ISP98 / UCP600)
🔹 How Does a Transferable SBLC Work?
1️⃣ Buyer Issues SBLC to the Primary Beneficiary – The buyer (applicant) arranges an SBLC in favor of the intermediary (primary beneficiary).
2️⃣ Primary Beneficiary Requests Transfer – The intermediary requests the issuing bank to transfer part or all of the SBLC to secondary beneficiaries (suppliers).
3️⃣ Suppliers Ship Goods/Provide Services – The secondary beneficiaries deliver goods or services according to the contract.
4️⃣ Payment is Secured & Transferred – Once the conditions are met, the funds from the SBLC are transferred to the relevant parties.
🔄 This structure supports complex trade flows and secures all parties in the transaction chain
