In commercial transactions, trust is rarely enough. Counterparties want security. A letter of guarantee from a bank provides that security by substituting the bank’s credit profile for that of the applicant. If the applicant defaults under the underlying contract, the beneficiary can make a demand under the guarantee.
A commercial contract requires security. The parties agree that a bank guarantee will be issued for a defined amount and duration.
The issuing bank evaluates the applicant’s financial strength, collateral, and exposure limits before approving issuance.
The bank issues the guarantee in favor of the beneficiary with clear demand conditions and expiry terms.
If the applicant fails to perform, the beneficiary submits a compliant demand. The bank pays if the demand meets the wording requirements.
Ensures completion of works or services under a contract.
Protects funds paid upfront before goods or services are delivered.
Secures a bidder’s commitment to enter into a contract if selected.
Backs financial obligations such as lease payments or loan servicing.
| Component | Market Practice |
|---|---|
| Annual Fee | Typically 0.75% to 3% of the guarantee amount |
| Collateral | Cash margin, deposit lien, corporate guarantee, or asset security |
| Tenor | Aligned with the underlying contract term |
| Approval Process | Full credit underwriting and compliance review |
Although both instruments are issued by banks and mitigate risk, they serve different commercial purposes.
| Feature | Letter of Guarantee | Letter of Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Secures performance or financial obligation | Secures payment for goods or services |
| Trigger | Default or non-performance | Presentation of compliant trade documents |
| Nature | Contingent security instrument | Payment mechanism in trade |
| Typical Use | Construction, leasing, infrastructure | International shipment of goods |
Yes. Once issued, it is a binding undertaking by the bank subject to its terms and governing law.
In most cases, yes. Banks allocate capital and require either strong credit metrics or tangible security.
A letter of guarantee responds to default. A letter of credit pays against compliant shipping or contractual documents, even if no default has occurred.
No. Banks issue guarantees to support real contractual obligations. Standalone speculative uses are not bankable.
