Bank guarantees are an additional obligation to banks than credit letters do. A bank guarantee, similar to the letter of credit provides a specific amount to the beneficiary. The bank will only pay the amount when the opposing party fails to meet the terms of the contract. The guarantee is used to protect buyers and sellers from damages or losses resulting from failure to perform by the other side in an agreement.
Bank guarantees safeguard the parties to a contract agreement from the risk of credit. For example a construction firm and its cement provider could sign an agreement to construct the mall. Both parties could be required bank guarantees in order to demonstrate their financial stability and their ability. If the provider fails to deliver cement within a certain time the construction company will notify the bank, and the bank is then obligated to pay the business the amount stated within the guarantee.

The institution that offers the loan guarantee promises to fulfill the financial obligations if the borrower fails to pay.
