Letter of Credit (L/C) & Bank Guarantees (B/G) are different financial facilities that are offered by banking institutions. Here, a Bank Guarantee is a type of banking arrangement where bank substitutes its creditworthiness for that of the customer. It is a contingent obligation meaning “depending on happening of an event, which may or may not occur” with 99% of time its not paid as event does not happen. Always issued on behalf of its customers, the final liability also always falls on the customers.

One common type of BG is performance-related where bank tells beneficiary if customer does meet the defined obligations, the bank will pay like issuing BG to shipping company for release of goods without Bills of Lading or substituting for cash payment. Further, bank guarantees are also issued for financial reasons like MNCs from a particular country wanting to borrow from bank for its subsidiary in another country. In all bank guarantee is banks assurance to guarantee the loan.
