It is an undeniable fact that the counter-guarantees are always exposed to wrongful or fraudulent demands for payment due to its institutional hallmarks and simplicity. Generally counter-guarantees are payable by presenting a written statement indicating that the local guarantor was in receipt of the beneficiary's statement that the principal was in breach of the underlying contract without any proof of any default. No proof of actual payment of guarantee is required. These matters may lead to numerous disputes or conflicts between the parties concerned. These problems raise may legal issues such as a guarantor(or a counter-guarantor)'s dishonor, the wrongful or fraudulent demands for payment, and the fraudulent conspiracy or the acquiescence of the local guarantor in the course of the procedural demand for payment. On the other hand, the guarantor's dishonor or an injunction are sometimes misused as dispute resolution method between parties involved. Therefore, this research analyzed the guarantor's wrongful dishonor and related issues such as an injunction, fraud exception, and others under the counter-guarantee regime focusing on the relevant cases. This paper also suggested practical implications and countermeasures from a business point of view.

The purpose of this study aims to the implications by the introduction of TSU/BPO system as a instrument of trade settlement. Jointly with financial messaging provider SWIFT, the ICC Banking Commission has developed the URBPO to take into account the legitimate expectations of all relevant sectors. Once the goods have been shipped, the seller's bank uploads the shipping and logistics data to the TSU to be checked against the baseline. URBPO is the first ever set of standards in supply chain finance that governs BPO transactions worldwide. BPO enables banks to reduce the risks associated with international trade to the benefit of both buyers and sellers. A BPO is an irrevocable undertaking given by an Obliger Bank to a Recipient Bank to pay a specified amount under the condition of a successful electronic matching of data or acceptance of mismatches. The BPO should be viewed as an exercise in collaboration between trading partners and their banks. Drawings upon global standards and incorporating the benefits offered by letters of credit, the new instrument has the potential to benefit all parties in a trade transaction-and bring trade settlement into the 21st century.

While a performance type guarantee is required as a security for non-performance risk by a seller, a payment guarantee is used as a security for non-payment risk by a buyer(or a borrower in a loan agreement). A payment guarantee is a type of independent bank guarantee, bank guarantee, bond, demand guarantee, or standby letter of credit. A guarantor accepts a credit risk of a principal which is normally a buyer in a contract for sale of goods. A payment guarantee is independent of the underlying relationship between the applicant and the beneficiary. The guarantor is only empowered to examine the beneficiary's demand and determine the payment on its face to the terms of the guarantee. A payment guarantee is thus different from a suretyship. The principle of independence carries a significant advantages for a guarantor as well as for a beneficiary. While a documentary credit requires B/L, commercial invoice, packing list, inspection certificate, etc., a typical payment guarantee does not require any evidence for a seller's performance of the underlying contract other than written demand. In this respect payment guarnatee can be a more secured facility than a documentary credit. A payment guarantee normally comes into force from the issuing date and shall remain in effect until all sums guaranteed shall be paid in full by a buyer(or a borrower) or by a guarantor. Although a guarantor shall pay a demand made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the payment guarantee, a payment demand may be denied when it is determined to be abusive or unfair.

본 연구는 새로운 국제 전자결제수단으로 개발된 무역카드(TadeCard)에 대한 검토와 활용 가능성에 관하여 검토한 것이다. 무역카드는 세계무역센터협회가 인터넷을 통하여 국제무역대금을 결제할 수 있는 전자결제시스템으로 개발되었다. 무역카드시스템은 제시되는 전자문서의 일치성 점검 및 국제무역거래의 모든 이행과정을 온라인(on-line) 상에서 전자적으로 이행되는 것을 특징으로 하고 있으며 부대비용 등 경제성 측면에서 여타 결제수단보다 우월한 결제시스템이라고 하고 있다. 그러나 가상공간을 통한 전자결제시스템은 거래당사자에게 대금지급의 확실성과 거래의 안정성 및 신속성 보장이 전제되어야 한다. 실제로 무역카드시스템은 특정 보증보험회사의 보증에 기반을 두고 있어 국제 기업간 거액거래상의 신용취급의 한계점과 금융네트워크 등에서의 취약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 무역카드가 국제전자결제시스템으로 정착되기 위해서는 정보보안 등 기술적인 안정성이 검증되고 결제상의 신뢰성 보장을 위하여 상업은행들의 참여가 확대되어야 한다. 또한 인터넷상에서 결제가 이루어지기 위해서는 담보권과 유통성이 보장되는 볼레로전자선화 증권 등의 활용과 기존의 모든 종이문서에 의한 결제서류도 전자문서로 대체되어야 한다.

Bank Guarantee system is commonly used as useful financial instruments to support various overseas and domestic business activities by providing bank guarantees. Therefore, it will be able to develop as a useful socio-economic useful system. However, some procedural problem can arise from the processes under demands for payment. Therefore, it is very important to review the requirements of the demand for payment and compliance standard for the examination of a presentation under the guarantee system. It is necessary to examine main issues under the revised URDG 758. The URDG introduced the same examination principle of "need not be identical to, but shall not conflict with' as that of UCP 600. The main changes of the URDG 758 like this imply the mitigation of the compliance standard for examination. So, This paper is to provide a comparative study of the regulations and laws for the examination standard and propose their implications and practical notes under bank guarantee system. For this purpose, this study will be examined the practical and legal issues focusing on the relative regulations of the revision URDG 758.

This thesis examines the performance and improvement strategy of SWIFTNet TSU's BPO for computerization and suggests the following results: First, the URBPO should be legally complemented, and the SWIFT and banks need to keep improving the systems to meet trade parties' diverse needs. Second, the SWIFTNet TSU's BPO should have an institutionally unified sharing platform with security, stability and convenience. In other words, it is needed to develop services which meet e-payment paradigm and international and regional environments through continued analysis on market changes and flow. Third, in order for the SWIFTNet TSU BPO to evolve into a perfect global system, there should be an innovative payment solution which can meet all trade parties all over the world. For this, technology standardization for a worldwide e-trade payment system is essential. Lastly, based on the results derived from this study, an analysis framework with which more diverse and practical environmental variables can be analyzed should be developed.

고수익을 미끼로 한 자판기 분양사기가 최근 급증하고 있어 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 무조건 자판기 수익성만을 과대포장하여 투자자들의 `묻지마` 투자를 유도한 후 돈만 챙기고 사업에서 손을 떼어버리는 사기행각은 그 피해대상이 대부분 서민이라는 점에서 문제의 심각성을 더한다. 자판기가 불법 자금 모집을 통해 사기의 대상으로 외부 인식이 악화되어 버린다면 자판기 산업의 입지 역시 크게 좁혀 질 수 밖에 없다. 자판기 품목에 있어서는 불법자금모집의 대표적인 사례가 되는 경우는 확정수익을 보장한다며 투자자를 모집하는 경우이다. 그 후 일정기간동안 수익을 보장하며 투자자를 안심시킨 다음 일순간 돌변하여 자금을 챙겨 잠적을 하는 수순을 밝는다. 선의의 투자자들은 이럴 경우 엄청난 피해를 입게 되는 게 보통이다. 대개의 경우 기계 1~2대의 소량물량이 아닌 5대~l0대 단위의 투자를 유도하기 때문이다. 이제는 자판기 산업에 있어 이러한 악성 불법자금 모집업체들이 근절되어야 한다. 이 불법 사기행각의 대상이 더 이상 자판기 분야에 발을 붙이지 못하도록 하는 제도적 비책이 시급히 강구 되어야 한다. 이러한 가운데 금융감독원 비은행감독국 비제도금융조사팀에서는 올들어 지난 9월말까지 고수익을 미끼로 투자자금을 모집하다가 금감원에 적발된 유사 금융업체 85개사 명단을 사법당국에 통보했다. 불법자금모집 업체들이 투자자들을 유혹하기위해 미끼로 내세운 사업을 종류별로 보면 자판기, 게임기, 컴퓨터단말기 등 특정상품 운영권 제공이 29개사로 가장 많고, 사이버 쇼핑몰 및 인터넷사업(18개사), 납골당 등 부동산 투자(12개사), 영화등 문화 및 레저사업(10개사), 영화문화 및 레저산업(10개사), 벤처투자사(9개사) 등이었다. 자판기 분야에 있어서는 주로 성인용품자판기, 복권자판기 등의 품목이 불법자금 모집의 집중 타킷이 되었다. 금감원은 최근들어 유사 금융업체의 자금모집이 전문가도 속을 정도로 지능화하고 있다며 개인투자자들이 피해를 예방할 수 있는 불법업체 식별법을 금감원 인터넷 사이트(www.fss.or.kr)에 게시했다. 금감원은 특히 사업현황에 대해 지나치게 보안을 유지하는 업체, 1백$\%$이상의 터무니없는 고수익을 보장한다고 광고하는 업체, 제도권 금융회사의 지급보증을 강조하는 업체에 대해서는 투자에 앞서 금감원이나 업종 관련 정부당국에 사실여부를 확인해 보고 투자여부를 결정하라고 통보했다. 아울러 금감원은 금융소비자들이나 자판기 업계에서 불법자금 모집업체를 발견하여 전화(02-3786-8155~9)나 인터넷소비자 보호센터와 경찰에 신고해줄 것을 요청했다. 이제는 산업계도 더 이상 자판기 분야의 불법자금업체를 방치하지 말고 적극적인 금감원 신고를 통해 시장을 정화할 수 있게 해야 한다. 미꾸라지 한두마리가 온 개천 물 다 흐려놓는 이치처럼 자판기불법자금업체들로 인해 전체 산업에 미치는 영향이 실로 심각함을 인식해야 할 때이다. 금호 산업정보에서는 산업계에서 불법자금업체 근절에 많은 관심을 가질 수 있게 하기 위해 금융감독원 비은행감독국 비제도금융조사팀에서 배포한 $\ulcorner$불법자금 모집업체 고수익 보장 유혹에 주의$\lrcorner$ 에 대한 보도자료의 세부내용을 게재한다.

The country using factoring actively today is England. The history of factoring could throw back to the Middle Ages, but modern factoring was developed in colonial age of the United States and it was known throughout England in 1960s. At the beginning, it performed mercantile agent who works in local area in order to get rid of uncertainty and inconvenience of a distant trade, but it was getting developed into a today's factoring system which focusing more on financial function. The factoring is called 'account receivable financing' in the United States and it is started out as sales agent and getting developed to 'del credere agent' who guarantee the payment. The activities of factors have been expanded to not only consignment sale and payment guarantees but also advance financing service. However, at the end of the 19th century, the direct sales(direct marketing) was expanded by the development of telecommunication and transportation technology, and then the marketing service by factor was degraded, but the collection of payment and advance finance had been maintained until now and developed into today's factoring system. Especially, the establishment of Uniform Commercial Code in 1931 had formed the basis for activating factoring in the United States through preparing a legal basis of factoring. Due to changes of international trade environment, most of commercial bank in Korea have to deal with export factoring as a trade finance service and it is desirable to specialize as a financing for small and medium company.
