Our Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) serves as a risk mitigation tool, fostering trust in contractual relationships. It further assures the Contract Employer or Buyer that
any advance payments made to a contractor or supplier will be returned in full if the contractor or supplier fails to fulfil their contractual
obligations under the terms of the APG.
Features & Benefits
The tenure of the Advance Payment Guarantee is determined based on the underlying contract, agreement, or offer,
allowing for alignment with project timelines and obligations
Requirements

Should the Advance Payment Guarantee crystallize (i.e., the bank has to pay out the guarantee), the prevailing bank
interest rate for term loans or overdrafts will apply to the amount paid by the bank.
