Demand Guarantee/First-Demand Guarantee
Explanation:
A type of L/C. I believe "bank" is redundant in English because banks are the ones who provide such guarantees. "Abstract" suspiciously seems only to shows up in translated documents for Swiss, Austrian, Italian, Belgian, Spanish companies. However, this type of guarantee (relating essentially to trade payments) is universal and follows an international convention.

See the following:
http://www.bradynet.com/bbs/newdeals/104649-0.html

"A Demand Guarantee (also called an independent, autonomous or first demand guarantee) is an irrevocable undertaking issued by the guarantor, upon instructions or request of the principal to pay the beneficiary any sum that may be demanded by that beneficiary up to a maximum amount determined in the guarantee, upon presentation of a demand conforming with the terms of the guarantee.

Demand Guarantees are primarily used for raising funds by securing the payment of the underlying client by the bank guaranteeing payment...."
