1. What is this product about?


Bank Guarantee is a guarantee letter issued by HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad (the Bank) on behalf of our customer to a
third party as a guarantor undertaking to pay an agreed sum if the customer fails or defaults in fulfilling their
contractual obligations under the terms and conditions of the guarantee.

For urgent Bank Guarantees, GuaranteeSmart is available subject to facility being fully secured by 100% cash deposit.

Tender Bid Bond

This guarantee is applied for by our customer (bidder) to support their tenders for contracts from potential buyers. The
buyer is afforded a financial remedy if the tender is withdrawn by the bidder or the successful bidder fails to enter into
a contract, or does not provide subsequent bond, such as a Performance Guarantee, to support the contract. The purpose
is to substantiate the financial standing of the bidder.

Performance Bond

This guarantee replaces the Tender Bid Bond if the tender is accepted. Performance Bond is an undertaking on behalf
of our customer (principal), to pay cash if the obligations of the principal under the contract are not discharged. The
amount of such bonds is usually based on a percentage of the value of the contract and is significantly greater than that
of the related Tender Bid Bond.

Advance Payment Guarantee

This guarantee is an undertaking to pay, on behalf of our customer (principal), the sum paid in advance under the
contract by the contracting party (beneficiary) for obligations that have not yet been performed. Contracts sometimes
include provisions, which allow principals to receive advance payments from beneficiaries for purposes such as
mobilising plant and equipment or purchase of raw materials. The terms of such contracts normally provide that such
sums advanced must be paid from (set-off against) progress payments under the contract. The beneficiary can recover
the amount paid or a part thereof under the Advance Payment Guarantee if the principal fails to fulfil their underlying
contractual obligations.

Retention Bond
Contracts may allow the contracting party (beneficiary) to retain a proportion of the contract sum until substantial
completion of the contract has taken place, such as remedial works during warranty period. The beneficiary may be
prepared to release this retention money to the principal against the presentation of this guarantee.

Financial Guarantee
A common type of guarantee issued to provide our customers with the means of obtaining facilities (which, for BG-i,
should not be interest-bearing facilities or contain elements contrary to Shariah), from the beneficiaries of the
guarantees, who may, if the need arises, claim under such guarantees up to a maximum amount and within a set period
of time. For example; rent payments under a lease agreement, payment for utilities, court fees, etc.

Other Guarantees
This includes types of guarantees other than the ones mentioned above. Examples are Service Deposits, Supply
Contracts, Security Deposits etc.
