Guarantee for the return of an advance payment
A guarantee for the return of an advance payment is a non-payment guarantee and represents an irrevocable obligation on the part of the bank to pay a financial sum specified in advance if the mandator, after receiving an advance payment, fails to meet its contractual obligations relating to the delivery of goods or services covered by the guarantee.
Advantages
- The guarantee represents a reliable security of the obligation of the supplier (mandator), while the customer (guarantee recipient) has the security of knowing that it will receive a settlement from Raiffeisenbank under the terms of the guarantee if the supplier does not meet its contractual obligations linked with the delivery and if the recipient (beneficiary) requests a settlement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the guarantee.
- The guarantee reinforces the creditworthiness of the supplier (mandator) in relation to the customer (recipient/beneficiary).
A guarantee for the return of an advance payment allows the supplier (mandator) to dispose of financial resources which the customer provided it against submission of a bank guarantee.
