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.
The most common types of bonds include municipal bonds and corporate bonds. It is a debt security, under which the issuer owes the holders a debt and, depending on the terms of the bond, is obliged to pay them interest (the coupon) and/or to repay the principal at a later date, termed the maturity date.
