Can anybody shed light on what a "Banco de Plaza" is? We're not talking a garden bench here! We're talking about a guarantee from this type of bank and is in a draft contract for the supply of services.
"...por medio de una Garantía Bancaria Solidaria de un Banco de Plaza, o una Póliza de Seguros equivalente al 10%..."
It's in a document from Paraguay and I can find other documents with the same phrase, but none that explain what it is.... ideas anyone?
Thanks

Local bank
In general terms, a "banco de la plaza" is either a local branch (of a nationwide bank) in a given city (for the purposes of eventually charging a "fuera de plaza" comission), or in international terms, a local bank in the given country for the purposes you mention
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "I think all the answers given are applicable, but I prefer "Local Bank" as it can apply to local branches of international banks whereas domestic bank gives the impression of just a national bank... or so it seems to me.
Thanks"
