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.
While there are many varieties, a surety bond is essentially an agreement between three partiesâa principal, an obligee and a suretyâassuring them all that something will happen. In general, surety bonds protect consumers and hiring parties, also known as the obligees, from fraud, abuse and penalties.
