The problem today

The decentralized paper-based process

In the course of business many companies by nature will issue numerous guarantees to their customers through banks and sureties. Over time they find themselves accumulating a significant number of outstanding guarantees issued by different guarantors for different beneficiaries.

In the end participants find themselves with a messy distribution of outstanding guarantees physically held across a wide range of counterparts.

And this is where the problem begins.

At heart, the problem today is that the issuance and storage of guarantees is spread across multiple participants while the guarantee related process is manual and paper based.

The result is a messy distribution of guarantees across a wide range of counterparts

This creates a number of challenges for all parties involved including:

  • Reduced transparency
  • Labour-intensive reconciliation & reporting
  • Delays in processing of guarantee issuance & post issuance requests
  • Manual, time consuming and non-standard process
  • Cumbersome manual release process for the discharging of guarantees
  • Vulnerability to tampering and fraud

The above challenges impose a number of costs on participants including courier fees, resource costs, unnecessary provisions and issuance fees paid by the applicant.
