For a Clear explanation of the Bank Guarantee,

Let's say a company called XYZ Ltd. is a buyer of goods from a supplier located in another country. The supplier is hesitant to do business with ABC Ltd. as they have no established relationship and are unsure if they can rely on ABC Ltd. to pay for the goods. To alleviate the supplier's concerns, ABC Ltd. approaches its bank to issue a bank guarantee in favor of the supplier. The bank issues a performance guarantee stating that if ABC Ltd. fails to pay for the goods within the agreed-upon timeframe, the bank will pay the supplier on ABC Ltd.'s behalf. This gives the supplier assurance that they will receive payment for the goods and allows them to proceed with the transaction.

In this scenario, the bank guarantee serves as a form of collateral to ensure that ABC Ltd. fulfills its obligations under the contract. If ABC Ltd. fails to pay, the bank will be required to make the payment on its behalf.
