Bank Guarantees vs.Letters of Credit
A bank guarantee is frequently confused with letter ofcredit (LC), which is similar in many ways but not the samething. The basic difference between the two is that of theparties involved. In a bank guarantee, three parties areinvolved; the bank, the person to whom the guarantee isgiven and the person on whose behalf the bank is givingguarantee. In case of a letter of credit, there are normallyfour parties involved; issuing bank, advising bank, theapplicant (importer) and the beneficiary (exporter).
Also, as a bank guarantee only becomes active when thecustomer fails to pay the necessary amount where as in caseof letters of credit, the issuing bank does not wait for thebuyer to default, and for the seller to invoke theundertaking
