Bank Guarantees

What is a Bank Guarantee?

Bank Guarantees on ProcureDeck allow banks to issue and manage financial guarantees that secure trade transactions between buyers and suppliers. These instruments reduce counterparty risk by ensuring that obligations will be met - whether it’s payment for goods, performance of services, or return of advance funds. Bank Guarantees can be issued on behalf of either party, depending on the structure of the trade agreement.
The platform supports multiple types of guarantees, including:

Payment Guarantees

Assure the supplier of payment in case the buyer defaults.

Performance Guarantees

Assure the buyer that the supplier will fulfill contractual obligations.

Advance Payment Guarantees

Protect buyers when prepaying for goods or services.

Bid/Tender Guarantees (Bond)

Ensure suppliers follow through if they win a procurement bid.

In some cases, such as when a buyer is classified as Tier 3 on ProcureDeck, the platform will require them to procure a payment guarantee before the supplier proceeds. This gives suppliers greater confidence in fulfilling orders, especially when working with less-established buyers. Banks can issue and monitor these guarantees with full trade visibility, linked directly to relevant POs and contracts in-platform.
