Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) – Secure Your Project Payments & Reduce Risk

🔹 What is an Advance Payment Guarantee (APG)?

An Advance Payment Guarantee (APG) is a financial instrument issued by a bank or financial institution that ensures the return of an advance payment if the contractor or supplier fails to fulfill the contractual obligations.

This guarantee is typically required in industries such as construction, procurement, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects, where buyers make upfront payments before the project or delivery is completed.

📢 An APG provides peace of mind to buyers by ensuring their advance payment is protected, while suppliers gain credibility and access to pre-financing for their operations.

Performance Bond / Guarantee – Ensure Contractual Compliance & Project Success

URDG 758 | ICC-Compliant | Secure Supplier Performance | Global Project Confidence

Introduction: Why a Performance Bond is Critical

A Performance Bond (also known as a Performance Guarantee) is a financial instrument issued by a bank or insurer to guarantee that a supplier or contractor will fulfill contractual obligations. If the contractor fails to perform, the bond ensures the project owner can claim compensation up to the guaranteed amount.

Performance Bonds are widely used in:

  • Construction & infrastructure projects
  • Large-scale equipment procurement
  • Public and government tenders
  • IT and systems integration projects
  • Supply-chain and manufacturing contracts

By issuing a Performance Bond, suppliers signal reliability, while project owners gain financial security and confidence in contractual execution.

How a Performance Bond Works

  1. Contractor/supplier is awarded a project and requested to provide a Performance Bond.
  2. The bank or insurer issues the bond in favor of the project owner.
  3. The contractor executes the project according to contract terms.
  4. In case of non-performance or delays, the owner submits a claim under the bond.
  5. The issuing bank/insurer pays compensation up to the guaranteed amount.

Result: Project owners are protected financially, suppliers demonstrate credibility, and contractual compliance is enforced efficiently.

Key Features of Performance Bonds

Bid Bond / Tender Guarantee – Secure Your Tender & Strengthen Bidding Confidence

URDG 758 | ICC-Compliant | Risk Mitigation | Global Tender Security

Introduction: Why Bid Bonds are Essential

A Bid Bond (or Tender Guarantee) is a financial instrument issued by a bank or insurer to guarantee that a bidder will honor the terms of a tender if awarded the contract. If the bidder fails to execute the project or sign the contract, the bond ensures the project owner can claim compensation.

Bid Bonds are widely used in:

  • Public tenders and government contracts
  • Construction & infrastructure projects
  • Equipment and commodity procurement
  • IT and technology system projects
  • Cross-border or multi-supplier supply chains

By issuing a Bid Bond, suppliers show seriousness and financial credibility, while owners protect themselves against non-serious or defaulting bidders.

How a Bid Bond Works

  1. Bidder submits a tender for a project.
  2. The bank/insurer issues a Bid Bond in favor of the project owner.
  3. If the bidder is awarded, they must execute the contract as per tender terms.
  4. Failure to sign or honor the contract triggers a claim under the bond.
  5. The issuer pays the owner compensation up to the guaranteed amount.

Result: Project owners are financially protected, and bidders demonstrate credibility and commitment.

Key Features of Bid Bonds

  • Guarantees seriousness of tender submissions
  • Financial security for project owners
  • Enhances bidder credibility and competitiveness
