English translation:assumption of counterparty risk
Explanation:
What's missing here is the relationship that's covered. Could be either side - the bank might protect the merchant against non-paying customers (probably the most likely scenario), but it could also enhance the merchant's standing vis-à-vis its customers.

Maybe you can provide some more background in this respect.
