Issues blocking issuance
All issuesGuarantee wording rejected for open-ended validity
HighCredit declines the wording because there is no final expiry date and exposure cannot be bounded.
Demand Guarantee · Rejected wording · Frequent
Non-extension notice missed on an evergreen standby
CriticalThe notice date passes unnoticed and the standby renews automatically for a further twelve months.
Standby Letter of Credit · Guarantee lifecycle · Occasional
Local bank issues wording that diverges from the counter-guarantee
HighThe local instrument is wider or longer than the counter-guarantee it is issued against.
Counter-Guarantee · Rejected wording · Frequent
Beneficiary not re-screened at the time of the demand
HighScreening was performed at issuance only; the beneficiary or its account changed before the drawing.
Standby Letter of Credit · Compliance bottleneck · Occasional
Contingent limit blocked after drafting is complete
HighThe guarantee reaches authorisation before the contingent limit shortfall is detected.
Demand Guarantee · Credit issue · Occasional
Clauses that most often block agreement
Clause libraryAutomatic extension (evergreen)
HighContingent exposure renews indefinitely; a missed notice date extends liability by a full period.
Pay and walk / no-set-off demand
CriticalRemoves every practical defence; call risk becomes purely commercial trust in the beneficiary.
Rating / downgrade clause
HighCreates a contingent replacement obligation outside operations' control and a potential immediate call.
Release only on return of original
MediumRelease depends on beneficiary action; exposure persists after commercial completion.
Non-documentary condition
HighUnder URDG 758 art. 7 (and ISP 98 rule 4.11) a condition with no stipulated document is disregarded, so the applicant's expected protection does not exist.
