Providers are a bit of an enigma, known for their huge balance sheets and large portfolios of assets, these companies, famously known as Sovereign Wealth Funds, Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Larger Family Offices also provide Bank Guarantees, (See What Is a Bank Guarantee), for leasing, (See What Is a Leased Bank Guarantee), for what is correctly known as Collateral Transfer, (See Collateral Transfer).

For those companies looking to lease Bank Guarantees, they must first locate a Provider, and the simplest way to do this is to contact IntaCapital Swiss, (See About IntaCapital Swiss), who own a unique data-base of Providers and Provider Groups, and provides a platform enabling both companies to enter into a contract, alluded to as a Collateral Transfer Agreement.

A Collateral Transfer Agreement allows the Provider to transfer a Bank Guarantee to another company, (the Beneficiary), for a limited period of time, for use as per the contract. The Beneficiary, under Terms and Conditions of the Collateral Transfer Agreement, will have to pay the Provider for the use of the Bank Guarantee, which is referred to as the Collateral Transfer Fee or Contract Fee.

There are many different assets within the portfolios of the Provider Groups, and a few of these assets will underperform, while others like a Long-Term Note, (LTN), have a small coupon, or interest rate. By offering these assets as security, the Provider will be able to issue Bank Guarantees into the Collateral Transfer market, thus increasing the overall rate of return.

Providers are an integral part of Collateral Transfer and without them there would be very few Bank Guarantees available for lease. IntaCapital Swiss, have built up a highly impressive data-base of Providers, and in conjunction with their cutting-edge financial model, the Collateral Transfer Facility, which utilises Leased Bank Guarantees, provides access to loans and lines of credit, known as Credit Guarantee Facilities.
