Frequently asked questions

What is a Banker's Guarantee (BG)?
chevron

A BG is a definite undertaking by the bank (guarantor) to pay the beneficiary a certain sum of money within a specified period if the applicant (principal) fails to fulfil his contractual or other obligations of an underlying transaction.

Like BG, SBLC is an independent payment obligation which is payable by Issuing Bank against beneficiary's compliant demand.

BG may be subject to the International Chambers of Commerce (ICC) ’s Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (“URDG758”). SBLC may be subject to ICC's Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits (“UCP 600”), or International Standby Practices ("ISP98”). BG / SBLC may be subject to country law as well.

There are generally the following parties in a BG / SBLC:

  • Issuing Bank: Guarantor who will pay upon compliant demand, in accordance with format.
  • Applicant: Party who is usually the Customer of the Bank applying for the guarantee, and who will pay the Issuing Bank in event of claim.
  • Beneficiary: Party in whose favour a BG / SBLC is issued.
