31 C.F.R. Â§ 224.6 - Sample Power of Attorney. A surety appointing an individual as its process agent, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. Â§ 9306 and 31 C.F.R. Part 224, may use the following language to meet applicable power of attorney requirements. While use of this sample language is not required, any power of attorney filed should use substantially the same terms:
A letter of credit is a liability for the bank because it is an obligation to pay out money. On the other hand, a bank bond is essentially an insurance product, so it counts as an asset: If everything goes smoothly, the bank keeps its fee and does not need to pay the bondholder.
A bank draft or banker's draft is a check that it guaranteed by the bank that issues it. In most cases, it lists the bank's main office or branch as the issuer, and the person or company that is receiving the money as the payee; the name of the person who requested the draft is often not included.
