Banking instruments refer to the various financial instruments that banks use to facilitate transactions between parties. These instruments can be used to provide guarantees, credit, or other forms of financial support.
An example of these instruments is the Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) and the Bank Guarantee (BG). They are legal documents issued by a bank that guarantees payment to a beneficiary if the applicant fails to fulfil their contractual obligations.
