Account Performance Security Guarantee

Posting guarantees via a letter of credit or a letter of guarantee can tie up working capital because financial institutions demand collateral when issuing guarantees on your behalf. Many banks will forego collateral when you have an Account Performance Security Guarantee because it provides them with 100 per cent protection.

Free up your cash flow

With an Account Performance Security Guarantee in place, your financial institution is assured it will receive full payment for any calls against your guarantees. This means that additional collateral is probably not required—so you can focus your cash flow on other business priorities.

Grow your business faster

When your financial institution is protected with an Account Performance Security Guarantee, they have the confidence to issue guarantees on your behalf as needed without repeating time-consuming and costly paperwork. The process is streamlined with predictable turnaround times giving you the ability to pursue promising business opportunities as they arise.

Peace of mind

An Account Performance Security Guarantee covers your letter of guarantee issuance requirements at a pre-set rate so you know exactly what bonding capacity you have to work with during the year, and at what cost.
