BANK GUARANTEES
Bank guarantee is designed for:

legal entities having their registered offices in the Slovak republic

Bank guarantee characteristics:

The bank guarantee is one of the most frequently used security instruments for reducing business risks. The bank guarantee is a written declaration from a bank, which guarantees to satisfy a creditor's (beneficiary) claim for a certain financial amount if a certain third party (debtor) does not meet a certain obligation or other condition specified in a letter of guarantee.

KB Bratislava provides the following types of the bank guarantee:
Payment guarantees
  • for the payment of the tax documents (invoices)
  • for the repayment of the financial loans
  • for the payment of leasing installments
  • other
Non-payment guarantees
  • for submitted offers (tender bond, bid bond)
  • for the return of an advance payment (advance payment guarantee, down payment guarantee)
  • for the due performance of a contract (performance bond)
  • for the return of a retention (retention bond)
  • for the warranty periods (warranty bond)
Customs guarantees
  • other non-transit operations (global, individual)
Other guarantees
  • for the carriers
  • for rent payment
  • for the company's obligations to the Pôdohospodárska platobná agentúra

Counter guarantees

When doing business with specific countries (e.g. Arabian countries) so called counter guarantees are often required. In this case the bank guarantee for the final creditor is issued by the local bank on the basis of a counter guarantee from the debtor's own bank.

  • security of receiving funds if their business partner (bank guarantee applicant) fails to meet his/her obligations
  • a quality security instrument for business transactions

Bank guarantee will allow you to:

    Depending on the type of guarantee, you may be able to obtain a deferral on the payment of financial obligations, advance payment or retention against the bank guarantee provided.
