A Bank Guarantee (BG) is a guarantee issued by a Bank which acts as a safety net for the Beneficiary who is under a binding contract with the Applicant.

 

In the event that the Applicant of the BG fails or defaults in fulfilling their obligations under the Terms and Conditions of the agreement with the Beneficiary, the BG promises to pay the Beneficiary an agreed sum or the principal amount.

How It Works

Common Types of Bank Guarantees

Bid Bond or Tender Bond Guarantee

This Guarantee enables the Applicant (bidder) to support a bid for projects. It supports an obligation of the Applicant (bidder) to execute a contract if he/she is awarded a bid.

Performance Bond Guarantee

This Guarantee is issued by the Bank to guarantee the satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor (Applicant). It protects the project owner against possible losses in the event that the contractor (Applicant) fails to deliver the project.

Advance Payment Guarantee

This is a guarantee to the project owner that they will be able to claim back all or part of the advance they have paid to the contractor (Applicant) in accordance with the underlying contract, in the event of non-performance or incomplete performance of the contract.

Custom Guarantee

This Guarantee acts as a security to the custom department for any kind of goods and services tax, required under the Custom Act 1960 of Singapore on the importation of goods.

Rental Bond Guarantee

The landlord will accept a guarantee in lieu of rental deposit in respect of a premise rented to the tenant.

Security Bond
