A bank guarantee involves the bank promising to cover a payment obligation on behalf of the applicant if they fail to meet their commitments to a third party. Here's a breakdown of the requirements and considerations for obtaining a bank guarantee:

1. Customer Relationship

  • Bank Account: The applicant must have an existing account with the bank providing the guarantee.

  • Banking History: The bank will evaluate the applicant's financial history, including account performance and transaction history.

2. Solvency Assessment

  • Creditworthiness: The bank will assess the applicant's solvency, which involves evaluating their credit score and financial health.

  • Financial Statements: Applicants might need to provide financial statements, such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.

3. Collateral and Security

  • Collateral: Banks may require collateral to secure the guarantee. This could include cash deposits, securities, or other assets.

  • Personal Guarantee: In some cases, a personal guarantee from the business owners or directors may be required.

4. Documentation

  • Specific Details: Applicants must provide specific details about the transaction requiring the guarantee. For rental contracts, this includes property details, the landlord's information, and the guarantee amount.

  • Application Form: A formal application detailing the need for the bank guarantee, the beneficiary's details, and the guarantee amount.

5. Fees and Charges

  • Study and Formalization Fees: The bank will charge fees for processing the guarantee application, including the assessment and formalization of the guarantee.

  • Monthly/Annual Fees: There may be recurring fees for maintaining the guarantee.

6. Terms and Conditions

  • Duration: Bank guarantees can be indefinite or have a specific end date. For rental guarantees, the term typically matches the lease duration.

  • Conditions of Default: The guarantee specifies the conditions under which the bank will make payments to the beneficiary in case of the applicant's default.

Duration and Term of a Bank Guarantee

The duration and terms of a bank guarantee are crucial components:

Indefinite vs. Specific Term

  • Indefinite Term: Some guarantees do not have a fixed expiry date and remain valid until explicitly canceled.

  • Specific Term: Others have a clearly defined end date, often aligning with the duration of the underlying obligation, such as a rental agreement.

Amount

  • The guarantee amount is usually based on the number of monthly payments requested by the landlord or the value of the obligation being guaranteed.

Execution and Claims

  • Issuance: Once approved, the bank issues the guarantee document to the applicant, who then provides it to the beneficiary.

  • Claims Process: If the applicant fails to meet their obligations, the beneficiary can claim the guaranteed amount by proving the default (e.g., unpaid rent).

  • Reimbursement: The bank can recover the paid amount from the applicant after honoring the guarantee.

Closure and Cancellation

  • If the guarantee expires without any incidents, the bank will close the guarantee. The applicant must return the physical guarantee document to properly cancel it.

Summary

Obtaining a bank guarantee involves a thorough assessment by the bank, similar to other lending processes, due to the inherent risks. The applicant must demonstrate creditworthiness, provide necessary documentation, and comply with the bank's terms and conditions. Fees and collateral requirements are also part of the process, ensuring that the bank's risk is adequately managed.

STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT (SBLC)

A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a financial instrument that guarantees payment by a bank on behalf of their client. If the client cannot fulfill payment obligations by the end of the contract, the bank steps in to make the payment. This instrument is vital in international trade as it provides assurance to the seller, promoting confidence in the transaction and showcasing the buyer’s credit quality.

SBLC Overview:

  • Nature and Use: SBLCs are often required in international trade to secure contracts. They demonstrate good faith, reflecting the buyer’s ability to pay for goods or services even in unforeseen circumstances. There are two primary types of SBLCs:

    • Financial SBLC: Guarantees payment for goods or services as stipulated in the agreement.

    • Performance SBLC: Ensures project completion within scheduled timelines, with the bank compensating the third party if the client fails to meet the contract terms.

  • Documentary vs. Standby Letters of Credit:

    • Documentary Letters of Credit: Facilitate the payment process to the seller and aid the movement of goods in international transactions.

    • Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC/SLOC): Provide financial guarantees for transactions or project completions.

Leasing and Customization:

  • Leasing Process: There is no standard leasing process for SBLCs; each program is determined by the provider. The provider instructs the bank on the procedures, which can involve significant paperwork due to the bank’s policies and guidelines.

Setting Up an SBLC:

  1. Underwriting: The buyer’s bank verifies the buyer’s credit quality through a thorough underwriting process.

  2. Notification: Once the buyer is confirmed to be in good credit standing, the bank notifies the seller’s bank, assuring its commitment to payment if the buyer defaults.

Provider and Client Details:

  • High Net Worth Clients: Genuine SBLC providers are rare. SBLCs are typically issued and managed for high net worth clients such as hedge funds, private equity firms, pension funds, and large corporations with substantial cash reserves.

  • Global Reach: Capital Bank Leasing 12 Limited caters to clients across Switzerland, USA, London, UAE, Turkey, China, Japan, and most European countries.
