How Do Performance Bonds Work?
When entering into a contract or trade deal, contractors or sellers are often required to provide a Performance Bond. This bond assures the project owner or buyer that the contractor or seller is committed to completing the task on time and according to the terms of the contract. Additionally, the bond ensures that in the case of any default by the contractor or seller, the counterparty can claim the bond.
The Performance Bond offers full protection to the project owner or buyer by ensuring that the work or supply will not be affected, even if the contractor or seller faces financial issues such as bankruptcy or other obstacles that may prevent them from completing the task.
Since the Performance Bond offers crucial protection against defaults, having this guarantee is often one of the key documents needed to secure contracts and trade deals.
Performance Bonds in Construction Contracts
In construction contracts, Performance Bonds are particularly common. For example, when you win a bidding process, the project owner may require you to provide a Bank Guarantee MT760 before starting work on the project. This serves as a guarantee of your performance and provides protection for the project owner in case of default.
Typically, contractors will request a Bank Guarantee (BG) MT760 from their bank. The bank will only issue the BG if the contractor has available bank facilities or sufficient funds to be used as collateral. If a contractor faces difficulty securing the required funds to block for the bond, they can reach out to us for assistance.

Parties Involved in BG MT760
The Performance Bond (BG MT760) involves three key parties:
Principal (Contractor or Seller) – The party requesting the bond to guarantee their commitment to completing the project or supplying goods on time.
Obligee (Project Owner or Buyer) – The party receiving the bond, ensuring the contractor or seller will fulfill their contractual obligations.
Bank – The financial institution that issues the bond, guaranteeing that the contractor or seller will perform their tasks as per the agreed terms.
How Much Does a Performance Bond Cost?
The cost of a Performance Bond can vary depending on the duration of the required bond. The cost typically includes:
Bank commissions
Processing fees
Handling charges
These charges are typically borne by the client, and the bank will deduct them from the applicant’s account before issuing the bond.
