Introduction The is a system that automates and manages the process for requesting and issuing guarantees for Nedbank Home Loans. The electronic process is modelled on the existing practice of: Requesting guarantee requirements Capturing the required payments Generating the required guarantees and having these issued by an authorised signatory Distributing the guarantees to the requesting party 3
Differences The primary differences between the existing paper-based process and the Nedbank Guarantee Hub are the following: All email communication relating to guarantee requirements between the Bond and Transfer Attorneys is replaced with communication and document sharing on the for increased security, traceability and transparency. All guarantees issued against registration of a Nedbank bond will be issued on the Nedbank Guarantee Hub. The objective of this is to give the Bank complete oversight of the guarantee issuing process from the initial instruction through to registration. To enforce this, all guarantees will be issued on the Nedbank Guarantee Hub and, where acceptable to beneficiary Banks, signed electronically by the Nedbank Guarantee Hub. The result is a digitally signed electronic guarantee that can be distributed electronically. Guarantees are issued by authorised signatories at the Bond Attorney Firm (or by Bank signatories) who are authenticated on the using their digital certificate. This process is much the same as in internet banking, where an authorised person is required to login to a secure website to release (authorise) payments. 4
