Issuing (Forex) Letter of Guarantee

(for import /Export) 

A customer often provides a vendor with a letter of guarantee when the vendor is uncertain whether the customer can pay an invoice. This is especially common with purchases of costly equipment or other property. However, a letter of guarantee may not cover the whole amount of the debt. For example, a letter of guarantee in a bond issue may promise either interest or principal repayment, but not both. Also, in some cases, a letter of guarantee holds a guarantor responsible for other guarantors’ repayments if they default on their agreements.

Bank guarantees are instruments for securing and enforcing the claims of parties to foreign trade contracts. In international trade dealings, buyers and sellers often face similar problems. A seller might find it difficult to assess the buyer’s willingness and ability to pay, while the buyer might not be sure that the seller genuinely intends to perform its side of the contract or has the necessary financial and technical resources to do so. Post Bank   is offering its customers and correspondent banks a full range of guarantee instruments in the framework of domestic and international rules and regulations, acting as their supporting partner with decades of experience and extensive expertise in guarantee business.
