Common Types of Guarantee

Performance, advance-payment, bid, payment, retention and warranty guarantees.

Performance guarantee

Supports performance of a contractual obligation. A demand may arise if the applicant does not perform as required and the beneficiary presents the documents stated in the guarantee.

Advance-payment guarantee

Supports repayment of an advance if the applicant does not earn or return it according to the underlying deal. The guarantee may contain an effective-date mechanism tied to receipt of the advance.

Bid or tender guarantee

Supports a bidder’s commitments during a tender process, for example entering the contract or providing required security if awarded.

Payment, retention and warranty guarantees

Payment guarantees support payment obligations. Retention guarantees can replace cash retention. Warranty or maintenance guarantees support obligations during a post-completion period.
