ANSWER

Hi,
.
Bảo lãnh đối ứng (Counter Guarantee) là một bảo lãnh, theo đó Bên bảo lãnh đối ứng (Counter Guarantor) cam kết với Bên bảo lãnh (Guarantor) về việc sẽ thực hiện nghĩa vụ tài chính cho Bên bảo lãnh, trong trường hợp Bên bảo lãnh thực hiện bảo lãnh và phải trả thay cho khách hàng của Bên bảo lãnh đối ứng.
.
Khi phát hành bảo lãnh đối ứng cho Bên bảo lãnh là ngân hàng nước ngoài, để dễ được chấp nhận và tiện lợi trong xử lý giao dịch, bạn nên lựa chọn dẫn chiếu URDG 758 làm quy tắc áp dụng. Cũng xin lưu ý thêm rằng nếu Bảo lãnh trả theo yêu cầu (Demand Guarantee) tuân thủ theo URDG 758 thì Bảo lãnh đối ứng (Counter Guarantee) cũng tuân thủ theo URDG 758 trừ phi bảo lãnh đối ứng loại trừ URDG 758. Tuy nhiên, Bảo lãnh trả theo yêu cầu không mặc nhiên tuân thủ URDG 758 khi Bảo lãnh đối ứng dẫn chiếu URDG 758 làm quy tắc áp dụng.
.
Khi xem xét phát hành bảo lãnh đối ứng, khách hàng là Bên được bảo lãnh phải thỏa mãn các điều kiện được quy định tài Điều 10 Thông tư 28 về ảo lãnh ngân hàng. Mọi thủ tục đều thực hiện theo Thông tư 28 và hướng dẫn của ngân hàng bạn.

Kind regards,
