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.

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.

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.
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.
