Bank Guarantee- BG

A direct guarantee is one where a bank is asked to provide a guarantee by its account holder, in favour of the beneficiary.

In an indirect guarantee, a second bank issues a guarantee in return for an already issued guarantee. When the second bank suffers losses when a claim is made against a guarantee, the issuing bank will make sure that it compensates all the losses.

Guarantees provide comfort to the beneficiary; in case the applicant fails to meet his obligations (either financially or by performance) as per the contract made between the applicant and the beneficiary, the beneficiary will have the guarantee to turn to for payment.

Having a guarantee issued in support of a client’s transaction can help the client grow and expand their business by postponing current payments for goods and/or services to a later date, provide comfort to buyers, allow clients to bid on transaction , without requiring that ITF’s clients tie up their available cash.

Following are the different bank guarantee types that are available

  • BID Bond
  • Performance/ Contract Bond
  • Advance Payment Guarantee/ Bond
  • Warranty Bond
  • Letter of Indemnity
  • Payment Guarantee
  • Rental Guarantees
  • Confirmed Payment Order

There are certain terms and conditions that the guarantee by the bank is subject to. This stipulates that it is mandatory for the ban to pay the beneficiary the fixed amount promised on the behalf of the client once the conditions are satisfied.
