(Spoornet, Portnet, SAA etc.)

Lombard offers the full spectrum of guarantees required by Importers & Exporters, Clearing & Forwarding Agents, Freight Forwarders, Warehousemen and Transporters.

Typically, these include all the different Customs Bonds, Guarantees as required by Spoornet, the Port Authorities NPA and SAPO, SAA and all other Cargo Airlines.

What differentiates us:

• Lombard has an innovative underwriting approach.  The impact of this is that we have a more commercial, business friendly approach to the establishment of a guarantee facility.  In particular, assets are not unduly encumbered.
• Our rates are very competitive.
• Our encompassing approach.
• With a division that specialises in these guarantees, Lombard is equipped to ‘manage’ a client’s entire portfolio.
• The staff of this division has excellent relationships with the Department of Customs & Excise, SAA, foreign airlines and all divisions of Transnet.
• Close relationships are kept with industry forums, such as the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF), thereby ensuring we are kept abreast on industry trends and changes in statutory requirements.
• Lombard prefers to have a partnership approach with all parties to ensure that it meets both the needs of its clients and the requirements of the authorities.
