Reasons for Bank Guarantee and How to Get One.

A Bank Guarantee serves as a promise from a financial Institution and or a Financial Provider that it will assume liability for a particular debtor if its contractual obligations are not met. In other words, the financial Institution and or a Financial Provider offers to stand as the guarantor on behalf of a business customer in a transaction. Most bank guarantees carry a fee equal to a small percentage amount of the entire contract, normally 0.5 to 2.5 percent of the guaranteed amount.

Applying for a Bank Guarantee

Bank guarantees are not limited to business customers; individuals can apply for them as well. However, businesses do receive the vast majority of guarantees. In most cases, bank guarantees are not particularly difficult to obtain.

To request a guarantee, the account holder contacts the financial Institution and or a Financial Provider and fills out an application that identifies the amount of and reasons for the guarantee. Typical applications stipulate a specific period of time for which the guarantee should be valid, any special conditions for payment and details about the beneficiary.

Sometimes the financial Institution and or a Financial Provider requires collateral. This can be in the form of a pledge agreement for assets, such as stocks, bonds, or cash accounts. Liquid assets are generally not acceptable as collateral.

How Bank Guarantees Work and Who Uses Them.

There are several different kinds of Bank Guarantees, including:

Performance guarantees

Bid bond guarantees

Financial guarantees

Advance or deferred payment guarantees

Bank guarantees are often part of arrangements between a small firm and a large organization—public or private. The larger organization wants protection against counter party risk, so it requires that the smaller party receive a bank guarantee in advance of work. A variety of parties can use bank guarantees for many reasons:

Assure a seller that a purchase price will be paid on a specific date.

Function as collateral for reimbursing advance payment from a buyer if the seller does not supply the specified goods per the contract.

A credit security bond that serves as collateral for repaying a loan.

Rental guarantee that serves as collateral for rental agreement payments.

A confirmed payment order is an irrevocable obligation, in which a financial Institution pays the beneficiary a set amount on a given date on the client’s behalf.

Performance bond that serves as collateral for the buyer’s costs incurred if services or goods are not provided as contractually agreed.

Warranty bond that functions as collateral, ensuring ordered goods are delivered, as agreed.

Difference Between Bank Guarantee and Letters of Credit.

Letters of credit are usually used in international trade agreements, while bank guarantees are often used in real estate contracts and infrastructure projects.

Bank guarantees represent a much more significant commitment for financial Institution than letters of credit. A bank guarantee, like a letter of credit, guarantees a sum of money to a beneficiary; however, unlike a letter of credit, the sum is only paid if the opposing party does not fulfill the stipulated obligations under the contract. This can be used to essentially insure a buyer or seller from loss or damage due to nonperformance by the other party in a contract.

  Money as a Medium of Exchange: Before the development of a medium of exchange  that is, money—people would barter to obtain the goods and services they needed. Two individuals, each possessing some goods the other wanted, would enter into an agreement to trade. Early forms of bartering, however, do not provide the transferability and divisibility that makes trading efficient. For instance, if someone has cows but needs bananas, they must find someone who not only has bananas but also the desire for meat. What if that individual finds someone who has the need for meat but no bananas and can only offer potatoes? To get meat, that person must find someone who has bananas and wants potatoes, and so on. The lack of transferability of bartering for goods is tiring, confusing, and inefficient. But that is not where the problems end; even if the person finds someone with whom to trade meat for bananas, they may not consider a bunch of bananas to be worth a whole cow. Such a trade requires co

How Is Money Measured? But exactly how much money is out there, and what forms does it take? Economists and investors ask this question to determine whether there is inflation or deflation. Money is separated into three categories so that it is more discernible for measurement purposes: M1  – This category of money includes all physical denominations of coins and currency; demand deposits, which are checking accounts and NOW accounts; and travelers' checks. This category of money is the narrowest of the three, and is essentially the money used to buy things and make payments (see the "active money" section below). M2  – With broader criteria, this category adds all the money found in M1 to all time-related deposits, savings accounts deposits, and non-institutional money market funds. This category represents money that can be readily transferred into cash. M3  – The broadest class of money, M3 combines all money found in the M2 definition and adds to it all large time dep
