Revolving Working Capital Lines

The Revolving Lines are a working capital finance tool with a duration of up to 1 year subject to an annual review. The customer is allowed to draw down lines of credit under an approved limit, which are then repaid in a few monthly instalments. The repayment schedule is being discussed with the customer and is tailored to meet the trading cycle of the business. Revolving lines may be combined with various trade products into a combined limit, which will include import & export lines (documentary credits, deferred payment credits, etc) and import & export cash facilities, various types of guarantees and performance bonds, as well as traditional loan lines and overdrafts that may be utilised interchangeably under a single controlling limit. For a detailed information regarding the trade products and services please refer to the Trade and Supply Chain section of this site.

The commercial credit and trade facilities provided by our bank generally require adequate security cover to be provided by the customer. Security is not the primary factor for the assessment of a proposal, however the availability of an adequate collateral securing the extended commercial credit and trade facilities is necessary. We accept the following types of securities.

Primary security Additional security
Marginal Deposit; Term Deposit under lien Pledge over plant, equipment, machinery & vehicles
Mortgage over land, as well as mortgage over residential & commercial property Floating charge over stock
First Class Bank's Guarantee Personal/Joint & Several/Corporate Guarantees

The acceptable level of the security/facility ratio is determined taking into consideration the customer’s credit history, facility amount, security type, availability of audited financial accounts, risk and return considerations, and degree of liquidity of the security. Generally, the security/facility ratio is determined as the ratio between the appraised value of tangible security and the overall limit of the extended facilities.
