Key Concepts: A bank guarantee is a type of financial instrument used in international trade. It is a guarantee from a bank to a buyer that the seller will fulfill their contractual obligations. The bank guarantee is issued by the buyer's bank and is backed by the buyer's creditworthiness. The bank guarantee provides assurance to the seller that they will receive payment for goods or services provided, even if the buyer defaults on their payment obligations. How to use it: In SAP Transaction Manager, bank guarantees are used to manage the risk associated with international trade transactions.
