Advance Payment Guarantees
When you prepay suppliers or contractors, advance payment guarantees from Sapelle International Bank protect your capital until obligations are met.
What Is an Advance Payment Guarantee?
Advance payment guarantees protect buyers who pay suppliers or contractors before delivery. If the seller fails to perform or refund, the beneficiary may claim under the guarantee.
Sapelle International Bank structures proportional reduction clauses tied to verified progress, multi-currency issuance, and expiry dates aligned to contract completion.
