Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) – Secure Your Project Payments & Reduce Risk
🔹 What is an Advance Payment Guarantee (APG)?
An Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) is a financial instrument issued by a bank or financial institution that ensures the return of an advance payment if the contractor or supplier fails to fulfill the contractual obligations.
This guarantee is typically required in industries such as construction, procurement, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects, where buyers make upfront payments before the project or delivery is completed.
📢 An APG provides peace of mind to buyers by ensuring their advance payment is protected, while suppliers gain credibility and access to pre-financing for their operations.
📌 How Does an Advance Payment Guarantee Work?
1️⃣ Buyer Makes an Advance Payment – The project owner or buyer provides an upfront payment to the supplier or contractor.
2️⃣ Supplier Issues an APG – The contractor or supplier obtains an Advance Payment Guarantee from a bank as a financial assurance.
3️⃣ Project Execution or Delivery – The supplier fulfills the contract by delivering goods or completing work.
4️⃣ Refund in Case of Non-Performance – If the supplier fails to deliver, the buyer files a claim against the APG.
5️⃣ Compensation from the Bank – The bank refunds the advance payment to the buyer, ensuring financial security.
✅ Result: The buyer is protected against financial loss, and the supplier builds trust with clients while securing advance funding.
