What is a Bank Guarantee?

A Bank Guarantee (BG) is a guarantee provided by a bank on behalf of its customer. It is a financial instrument that assures a beneficiary that the obligations of the customer will be fulfilled as per the terms and conditions of the agreement. BG is generally used in international trade transactions where the seller requires assurance from the buyer that the payment will be made on time.
