The Revolving Standby Letter of Credit is a specialized banking instrument used when parties require ongoing financial security that automatically renews after each utilization. This document is particularly relevant in the Nigerian market where continuous trade relationships and recurring financial commitments need to be secured. It provides a cost-effective alternative to maintaining multiple separate standby letters of credit, as the credit amount becomes available again after each drawing and settlement. The document must comply with Nigerian banking laws and regulations, including BOFIA 2020 and Central Bank of Nigeria directives, while also adhering to international banking standards. It's commonly used in trade finance, ongoing supply contracts, and recurring performance obligations where the beneficiary requires consistent financial backing.
