  • Draft and check guarantee wording carefully
  • Explain the independence principle and its consequences
  • Handle claims, extend or pay demands and expiry
  • Assess the risk carried by issuer and applicant
  • Recognise fraud and the narrow grounds for refusing payment
Who should attend

  • Corporate relationship managers
  • Legal and compliance staff in banking
