Bank Guarantees
A Bank Guarantee is a one-way contract between a Bank acting as guarantor and a beneficiary. Under this contract the bank undertakes to make payment to the beneficiary within the limits of a stated sum of money, if the beneficiary’s counterparty (i.e. the applicant for the Guarantee) fails to fulfil its contractual obligations to the beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreement between them. In such a case the beneficiary can make a demand for payment to the Guarantor (issuing bank of the Bank Guarantee).
The advantages of Bank Guarantees
Using Bank Guarantees as a security instrument in trade business offers clients a number of advantages:
For a buyer (importer):- Provides a buyer the opportunity to count on more lucrative contractual terms from the seller, given that the risks of a commercial transaction for a seller are reduced when a buyer provides a guarantee;
- A Bank Guarantee acts as additional confirmation of a buyer’s financial sustainability;
- A Bank Guarantee offers an alternative to an advance payment or serves as a guarantee that a prepayment will be returned.
- Limits the potential risk that a buyer may fail to make payment under a contract;
- Using Bank Guarantees makes it possible to expand a sales market by reducing the risk of non-payment by counterparties with whom a seller does not have sufficient experience of cooperation.
- For a seller (exporter):
