Bank Guarantee Structuring & Placement

Bank Guarantee Structuring & Placement

This mandate is designed for companies that need bank guarantees to support real contracts and projects. Typical applications include bid bonds, performance guarantees, advance payment guarantees, retention guarantees, and warranty guarantees required by employers, project owners, or counterparties in domestic and cross-border transactions.

The focus is on structuring guarantees that align with the underlying contracts and follow accepted practice under URDG 758 (ICC Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees) as the default rule set, unless specific alternative terms are required by the beneficiary or governing documents. The work is scoped for defined transactions or facilities, not for generic or off-market instruments.

Bank guarantee structuring and placement for contractors, suppliers, and project sponsors with identifiable contracts and counterparties. Engagement fees from USD 12,500 for a single guarantee or facility structure, with a success fee on approved limits or issued guarantees under this mandate. Bank transfer only.

Client Profile And Eligible Guarantees

Typical Clients & Use Cases

  • Construction and EPC contractors providing bid, performance, and advance payment guarantees.
  • Suppliers of equipment or long-lead items required to post contract or warranty guarantees.
  • Service providers with multi-year framework agreements that require framework or umbrella guarantees.
  • Project companies needing guarantees toward government entities, off-takers, or landlords.
  • Transactions with clear contracts, tender conditions, and defined guarantee wording or formats.

Outside Scope Of This Mandate

  • Requests for “leased” or off-market guarantees intended for monetisation or resale.
  • Guarantees with no underlying contract, no defined beneficiary, or no clear obligation being secured.
  • Situations where KYC, financial statements, or project documentation cannot be provided.
  • Arrangements that conflict with sanctions, AML rules, or standard banking compliance expectations.
  • Enquiries seeking sample formats only, without a defined transaction or facility to structure.

Scope Of Work, Deliverables, And Process

Once the engagement fee is received, the work is directed to a specific transaction or facility requirement. The outcome is a guarantee structure and draft wording that can be taken to suitable banks and discussed with counterparties on a professional footing.

  • Review of contracts, tender documents, and any prescribed guarantee formats or employer requirements.
  • Analysis of the commercial and legal risk being secured, including triggers for calls and expected expiry conditions.
  • Selection of guarantee type and rule set, typically on-demand guarantees governed by URDG 758, or alternative frameworks where explicitly required by the contract or beneficiary.
  • Drafting or refining guarantee wording, including amount, tenor, claim procedures, governing law, and jurisdiction.
  • Guidance on collateral expectations, security packages, and documentation typically requested by banks.
  • Targeted approaches to bank partners active in the relevant sector and jurisdictions for issuance or counter-guarantee structures.

The mandate also considers how guarantees interact with existing facilities, covenants, and overall bank exposure to the client group.

Pricing, Parameters, And Engagement Terms

The fee schedule reflects the analytical and structuring work required to support one guarantee or a defined facility. It is designed for clients that want transparent terms before committing.

  • Guarantee types: bid, performance, advance payment, retention, warranty, and other project-related guarantees; payment guarantees considered case by case, usually within a URDG 758 framework or equivalent on-demand standard.
  • Typical size: usually USD 1m to 50m per guarantee or aggregate facility, subject to bank appetite and credit profile.
  • Tenor: from short-term bid guarantees to multi-year performance and warranty guarantees, matched to contract requirements.
  • Engagement fee: from USD 12,500 for single guarantees up to USD 10m; generally USD 15,000 to 22,500 for larger, multi-tranche, or facility-level mandates.
  • Success fee: typically 0.5 to 1.25 percent on new guarantee limits or specific guarantees issued under this mandate.
  • Payment method: bank transfer only, against invoice, with work commencing after funds are received.
  • Refunds: the engagement fee is fully earned once review and structuring work start and is not refundable.

Start A Bank Guarantee Structuring Mandate

If you have a defined contractual requirement for one or more bank guarantees and want a clear structure, wording, and bank engagement process, this mandate sets out the scope and pricing in advance. The work is focused on a specific transaction or facility and on presenting a guarantee structure that can be assessed by professional banks under URDG 758 or other agreed rules.

Bank Guarantee Structuring: FAQ

Can Financely issue bank guarantees directly in its own name
No. Bank guarantees are issued by licensed banks and financial institutions. Financely supports clients by structuring the guarantees, preparing documentation, and engaging with appropriate bank partners through regulated channels. Final issuance decisions are taken by the relevant bank based on its credit and compliance standards and the applicable rules, typically URDG 758 for on-demand guarantees.
Do you support leased, monetised, or off-market bank guarantee schemes
No. The mandate is restricted to guarantees that secure identifiable contractual obligations between known parties. Structures based on leased or monetised guarantees, or instruments detached from underlying commercial activity, are outside the scope of this service.
Can one mandate cover multiple guarantees on the same project
Where several guarantees arise from a single project or framework contract, a single mandate can be structured around a facility that covers them, subject to scope and pricing being agreed at the outset. If guarantees span different projects, jurisdictions, or unrelated contracts, separate mandates may be more appropriate.
What information should be prepared before starting a bank guarantee mandate
Clients should be ready to share contract or tender documents, any prescribed guarantee formats, company formation and ownership details, recent financial statements, and information on existing banking relationships. Where possible, a clear summary of project structure and risk allocation supports discussions with banks.
Can the engagement fee be linked entirely to issuance or waived if no guarantee is approved
The engagement fee covers the review, structuring, and preparation phases of the mandate. These tasks require specialist work regardless of the final decision taken by banks. For that reason, the fee is not contingent on issuance and is not refunded if a bank decides not to proceed.
