Bank guarantee is a form of security, in which the Bank acts upon your order, assuming an obligation to your counterparty (beneficiary of the guarantee) to pay a specific amount when your company defaults on its obligations. The guarantee stipulates the type and scope of the obligation and the terms and conditions that have to be fulfilled for the drawing on the guarantee. The product is also available within the line for bank guarantees and multi-product line.
This service is available online at the Trade finance module in the Millenet internet banking system.
Benefits for your company:

- Customer's insolvency or against refusal to pay,
