What are bank guarantees for companies?

A guarantee is an arrangement by which the bank agrees to be answerable in complying with an obligation before a third party.

Bank guarantees for companies issued by Banco Santander are characterised for being:

  • Solvent: they enjoy great prestige both in the national market and in the international market.
  • Digital: you can request national or international guarantees, in hard copy or digital, 100% online through your online banking.
  • Agile: we have advanced technology to be able to issue the guarantees in the shortest possible time.
