Bank Guarantee

Establishing a bank guarantee requires security in the form of cash in deposit with Heritage, or property of a type and value deemed acceptable to the bank.

If you establish a cash secured bank guarantee, your money will be held in a term deposit as security and earn interest as per published rates. Property secured guarantees do not earn any interest. Features include: 

• Earn interest on the cash you use as security for the guarantee (if applicable).
• Option to have one overall limit approved securing multiple guarantees (property secured guarantees only).
• Can be issued with or without an expiry date. The beneficiary will notify you if an expiry date is required.

In most cases bank guarantees are used:

• To secure a tenants or lessees obligations to a landlord under a lease agreement;
• For building contracts;
• For payment of future accounts to a third party.

There is no minimum or maximum amount, however:

• Cash secured guarantees over $100,000 must be assessed and approved by Heritage before the guarantee is issued.
• Property secured guarantees for existing customers will be assessed in accordance with Heritage's standard lending criteria and are handled by our business banking team.
