Bank Guarantee
Bank Guarantee
A bank guarantee is a written contract given by a bank on the behalf of a customer.
By issuing this guarantee, a bank takes responsibility for payment of a sum of
money in case, if it is not paid by the customer on whose behalf the guarantee has
been issued. In return, a bank gets some commission for issuing the guarantee.
.
In the situations, where a customer fails to pay the money, the bank must pay the
amount within three working days. This payment can also be refused by the bank,
if the claim is found to be unlawful.
Benefits of Bank Guarantees
For Governments
Increases the rate of private financing for key sector such as infrastructure
Advantages
An unsupported guarantee is a very simple security to take - no registration is
involved and no complications concerning proof of title arise.
As with any other security given by a third party (collateral security), it can be
ignored when claiming against the principal debtor.
As several parties can guarantee a loan, it is useful security where the principal
debtor is unable to provide security but offers a viable business loan proposition.
Disadvantages
Unless supported by a cash deposit or other security, a guarantee is always of an
uncertain value as a security.
A guarantor's financial position can change very quickly.
Court action may be necessary to realise the security and a technicality may
defeat the bank's claim.
Litigation may be necessary to enforce payment where the guarantee was not
supported by other (realisable) security.
Types of Bank Guarantees

to secure the completion of the contractual responsibilities of delivery
of goods and act as security of penalty payment by the Supplier in case
of nondelivery of goods.

guarantee is either limited to rental payments only or includes all payments
