Performance Bond/Guarantee

This is an undertaking required by the principal from a contractor as security for their performance. The bond usually states that the contractor has the ability to carry out the job. This is normally issued to cover the duration of the contract.

A performance bond may be on demand or conditional. Where it is on demand, the bank undertakes to pay the bond subject to a written demand from the beneficiary irrespective of whether there has been default in the performance of the contract by the customer. Whereas a conditional bond provides that payment will be made subject to certain conditions; these conditions commonly call on the beneficiary to establish default before payment is made.
