Fees In Proportion To Value
May the fees of the bank increase or decrease with the value of a guarantee particularly when the services required for each guarantee differs in proportion to its value?
It is not lawful to charge a fee for issuing a letter of guarantee since it is a contract for which compensation is not taken. It is permissible however to charge a fee for the effort expended by the bank in the process of issuing a letter of guarantee for actual services.
