What is the difference between a surety bond and a bank guarantee? Surety bonds are typically conditional whereas bank guarantees are on demand. Only the performance risk lies with the surety, where the bank has the financial risk on the construction project.
Bonds are considered a specialty form of insurance, and the Surety is almost always an insurance company. Bonds are very different than insurance, however because the beneficiary is a third party. As long as the Principal does what is promised, the Surety will not be called upon to perform or pay.
