A Bond Facility is often a prerequisite for exporters/suppliers and companies providing goods or services to buyers in overseas or domestic markets. The Afreximbank bonding facility helps by providing bonds (guarantees) to support eligible export-related contracts and other services. It is common for a buyer to require their supplier to provide bonds (or guarantees) as part of a contract. We can either issue bonds directly to the buyer or provide a guarantee to the supplier’s bank who will issue the bonds.
Risks covered under Bonding facilities
Bonding Facilities cover counterparty risk including the unfair calling of the bond (or any related counter-guarantee).
