Advance payment Guarantees

An Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) is a financial assurance issued by a bank or financial institution to protect buyers who make upfront payments for goods, services, or projects. It ensures that if the seller or contractor fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, the buyer can recover the advance payment. This guarantee is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, international trade, and large-scale projects.
