Bonds and Guarantees

Standard Chartered is able to issue a variety of Bonds and Guarantees to support your business activities, these include:

  • Trade Bonds - Issued where an exporter's performance must be guaranteed. This is a prerequisite in many countries, for the principal to be awarded a contract, or be allowed to participate in a tender.
  • Shipping Guarantees - Issued to enable you to effect clearance of goods with the shipping company, in the event that the original documents of title have been lost or delayed. This allows the goods to be claimed as soon as possible, so improving cash flow, and avoiding any possible losses due to deterioration in your goods.
  • Custom Bonds - A Customs Bond is issued to enable you to bring goods into the country before paying the import duty to the Customs authority. This speeds up collection of your goods, and gives you the time you need to re-export, or sell on the goods. This can help your company to avoid unnecessary paper work, while also reducing your working capital needs.


For Multinational, and Institutional banking customers who require a large volume of bonds and guarantee issuance, we are able to offer a tailored solution to meet all of your Bond and Guarantee needs, our One Stop Shopping issuance facility.
