A bit unusal wording, maybe. You could also be looking for 'objekter som er stillet i pant', which is the same thing.

Inspired by Chris's timely reference to 'security' here, and also in the preceding question', I made little research on the matter. Obviously, there is a difference between the UK and the US here (as so often): http://www.translegal.com/great-divide/collateral-vs-securit...

Aha - again one of those US/UK discrepancies, I guess?

provisions of securities / collateral / pledge / mortgage
I believe 'stillelse' refers to the provision of (the lodging of) security / collateral / pledge / mortgage
cf. Danish 'sikkerhedsstillelse'
Could volunteer be voluntary?

guarantor
From your context, the broad term guarantor would be the most appropriate. Someone who offers or agrees to be the guarantor, without payment, or voluntarily, or however the text states it.

: Sorrry, Charles - you are way off here. You describe a 'kausjonist', which is a totally different way of securing a credit.

Discussion
If you remove the word 'voluntarily' from your suggestion, the rest is the exact definition of collateral or the UK equivalent. I would then prefer to go for the simpler, shorter form and leave the preceding parts of the sentence to the translator. :)
On another note, I have a hard time trying to imagine what a non-voluntary collateral would be. Yes, I can imagine the bank saying 'you have to put up [this or that] as collateral', but I would probably still do it voluntarily.
