The Bank Guarantee Cancellation Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian banking practice, used when an entity needs to formally request the termination of a bank guarantee. This document becomes necessary when the underlying obligations secured by the guarantee have been fulfilled, the guarantee period has expired, or when both parties agree to terminate the guarantee arrangement. Governed by Nigerian banking laws, particularly the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020, the letter must include specific details such as the guarantee reference number, original purpose, and justification for cancellation. The document plays a vital role in releasing the bank from its obligations and potentially freeing up the applicant's credit line or collateral.
