Not all fields are (correctly) filled in.
For more details, please see below.
What do you require?
 
 A bank guarantee is a form of credit where ING promises to pay an amount on your behalf to the beneficiary of the guarantee when he/she requests it. This beneficiary is a third party to whom you (the applicant) have certain obligations. Payment is subject to the conditions set out in the wording of the bank guarantee.
The list of bank guarantees on this website is given for information purposes only. The bank guarantees mentioned are all governed by Belgian law. ING offers other bank guarantees subject to specific legal requirements.
Can't find the bank guarantee you're looking for? Not sure which guarantee to choose? Don't hesitate to contact ING
If you wish to amend the text of an existing guarantee or the name of the applicant, this is no longer considered as a simple amendment but rather a new application by the bank.

For early release, decrease of the amount and reduction of maturity, an approval of the beneficiary is required. Please enclose the document signed by the beneficiary which proves that he/she agrees with said amendment.
 A promise is a formal engagement of the bank to grant a bank guarantee. This is subject to certain conditions and the existence of specific circumstances. These conditions and circumstances are explicitly mentioned in the promise.
Before you go any further ...
Make sure you have the following information handy:
Your ING current account number Don't have an ING current account yet?
The document to which the bank guarantee relates (e.g. contract, specifications).
Remark!

Via this online application you can only request new bank guarantees or modify existing bank guarantees issued as part of a professional activity.
For requests for bank guarantees to be issued in the context of private activities, please contact your nearest ING branch.
