Bank Guarantees Advantages

  • Low Cost

    LCs and Bank Guarantees are much cheaper than traditional bank lending.

  • Delinquent Payment Risk Mitigation

    Delinquent Payment Risk Mitigation

  • Independence from the terms and conditions of foreign trade contracts

    Independence from the terms and conditions of foreign trade contracts

    Upon making a decision on payment execution, the bank is governed only by the terms and conditions of the issued LC or Bank Guarantee notwithstanding any additional agreements between the seller and the buyer or just the buyer's unwillingness to pay for the shipped goods.
