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.
A surety is a person who comes to court and promises to a judge or a justice of the peace to supervise an accused person while they are out on bail. A surety also pledges or promises an amount of money to the court by signing a type of bond called a recognizance. By doing this, the surety risks losing some or all of the money they have promised to the court if the accused doesnât follow one or more of the bail conditions or fails to show up to court when required.
