      What are endorsements and guarantees?

      • Guarantees and endorsements are instruments used by a financial institution to serve as a guarantor for the commercial or financial commitments acquired by a client company in its operations. This way, they irrevocably ensure compliance with the commercial and/or financial commitments derived from national and international operations.

        You can also use our online bank to perform all types of queries regarding the status of your endorsements: general data, settlements and upcoming maturities, among others.

      What type of guarantees are offered?

      • Three guarantees
        • Bid (Bid bond): These are used to present in tenders.
        • Performance (Performance bond): The guarantor undertakes to pay the agreed amount to the payee in the event that the contract is breached by the ordering party.
        • Reimbursement (Advance payment bond): The payee is guaranteed a refund of advance payments if the ordering party breaches the terms of the contract.

      Do it digitally through Avalbox

      • With Avalbox, you can request, consult and track the status of your international guarantees 100% online, from the website or your mobile.
        Benefits
        • Process your international guarantees from anywhere.
        • Instantly find out your risk limits, issued guarantees, maturity dates, beneficiaries, amounts, etc.
        • Request your guarantee using predefined texts or those you propose.
        How is the guarantee filed securely?
        • Direct: BBVA issues the guarantee. File it on paper or in a SWIFT message.
        • Counter-guarantee: A foreign bank issues the guarantee. File exclusively through SWIFT.

      Do you know the definition?

      Provided in the body of the same document (e.g., bill, promissory note, etc.).

      Issued in a separate document from the principal secured obligation. Unlike the documentary letter of credit, in guarantees the payment by the issuing institution is only potential (i.e. will only occur if the secured party defaults). The guarantee is not a payment method.

      • Payer: someone who orders his/her bank to issue a guarantee.
      • Guarantor: a bank that issues the guarantee and undertakes to pay if the ordering party breaches his/her obligations.
      • Payee: the person to whom the guarantee is issued.
      • Counter-guarantor: a bank that guarantees the guarantor.
