She explains how Avenue Bank is challenging that model through digitisation, speed, and a highly specialised approach — delivering same-day guarantees, greater flexibility, and a more streamlined experience for developers and tenants.We also explore how bank guarantees fit across the full development lifecycle, from site acquisition through to post-completion, and why demand is growing across asset classes — particularly in industrial and logistics. Peita shares insights into the role of technology in modern banking, the importance of certainty and speed in property transactions, and why focusing on a single niche has been key to Avenue Bank’s success.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WjeAXNRRqcL1tk3KHEfQ5vZ9YQbFrmeOaIcLuS0D3ws/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNmM2/ZTdkZGRmOWY3MWYw/ZDZhNGFkZWE3NmUz/MGI2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
