Bank guarantee, a promise made by a bank
A bank guarantee is a promise by a bank or other financial entity that the bank will compensate the loss if a single borrower fails on a loan. It should be remembered that a bank guarantee is not equivalent to a letter of credit.
Bank guarantees among
business entities are very widely used. The debtor or creditor or customer
would be able to buy vehicles, machinery, raw materials, acquire extra money,
etc. for business purposes with the aid of a bank guarantee. Bank guarantees from the Merchant Finance Guarantee Corporation
support companies as banks get sufficient reassurance that if the enterprise is
unable to repay the debt completely on time, the loan balance will be returned
by the bank.

guarantee adds confidence to trade. It encourages firms to make
investments that they would not otherwise be capable of making; these
assurances serve, thus to improve consumer interest and extend business activity.
