What is an Advance Payment Guarantee?

An Advance Payment Guarantee (also known as a Payment Bond) acts as an assurance to secure the advance payment made by the project owner or buyer towards the contractor or seller. Issued by a bank on behalf of their clients, this bond secures the advance payment and ensures that the contractor or seller will meet their obligations as agreed.

In construction or other project-based agreements, when the project owner and contractor sign the building contract, the contractor may require an advance payment to kickstart the project and speed up the work. The project owner, in turn, may demand an MT760 Guarantee from the contractor to secure the advance payment and assure their commitment to completing the task as per the contract.

Importance of Down Payment Guarantee in Construction

For contractors, a steady cash flow is essential to accelerate project progress without any delays. Lack of cash flow or payment delays can disrupt the work, leading to unaddressed payments for workers and suppliers. This can severely impact the completion and timeline of the project.

That’s why contractors often require upfront payments from project owners before starting the work. While Advance Payments help contractors mobilize the project, project owners face uncertainty about whether the contractor will complete the work as per the contract. To mitigate this risk, project owners commonly demand a Bank Guarantee before issuing payments.

Having an MT760 in place assures project owners that the contractor will fulfill their obligations as agreed. In case the contractor defaults, the project owner can claim the bond and recover the advance payment made.

The main objective of this payment bond is to increase cash flow for contractors, enabling them to cover initial project costs, and to speed up project progress.

Parties Involved in Bank Guarantee

The parties involved in the issuance of the MT760 include:

  • Applicant – The contractor or seller who requests the MT760 from the bank in favor of the project owner or buyer.

  • Beneficiary – The project owner or buyer who receives the MT760 in their favor.

  • Bank – The bank that guarantees the payment if the contractor or seller defaults.

How Do I Get a Payment Guarantee?

As previously discussed, the Advance Payment Bond plays a crucial role in trade deals and construction contracts. Typically, contractors and sellers contact their banks to obtain a BG MT760. However, banks usually require 100% of the bond value as a cash margin or deposit. If you do not have enough cash funds to provide the necessary deposit, the bank may decline your request.
