Tailored to the business deal

Our bank guarantees are always
tailored to the business deal in question 

What guarantees we provide

Payment guarantees

Payment guarantees

This guarantee is provided by the bank against a guarantee of the debtor’s bank, e.g. for the settlement of an invoice, loan, lease, rent, toll, excise tax, repayment of retention, advance payment, etc.
Customs guarantees

Customs guarantees

We issue customs guarantees for all standard customs procedures; these guarantees are accepted by customs authorities. For example, we provide guarantees for transit operations in international trade and operations other than transit operations.
Non-payment guarantees

Non-payment guarantees

They represent the bank’s obligation to pay up to the guaranteed amount in the event the principal fails to meet their obligation. We provide bind bonds, advance payment guarantees, performance bonds, retention bonds, warranty bonds, as well as other types of bonds.
Counter guarantees

Counter guarantees

By way of a counter guarantee, the issuing bank authorises another bank to issue a guarantee for the transaction in question. This guarantee is particularly suitable for transactions in specific territories (e.g. Arab countries), where the bank guarantee for the final creditor is issued by its local bank on the basis of a counter guarantee from the debtor’s bank.

How a bank guarantee works

Bank guarantees are always defined for specific transactions

Bank guarantees are always defined for specific transactions

  • A beneficiary submits an agreement (contract), terms and conditions of tender (public procurement), etc.
  • A principal submits a request for a bank guarantee
  • A guaranteeing bank sends the letter of guarantee directly to the beneficiary and the advising bank 
  • The letter of guarantee is sent via the advising bank

Why use a bank guarantee

  • Get better contract terms by providing quality security to your business partner (e.g. the possibility to obtain a deferment of payment obligations, advance payment or retention against the provided bank guarantee)
  • Assurance to the recipient of the bank guarantee that they will receive funds even if the business partner fails to meet their obligations
  • This also includes consulting on negotiating contracts, review of the terms and conditions, drafting of the letter of guarantee, advice of an incoming bank guarantee, and promise to issue a bank guarantee
