Counter Bank Guarantee VS Bank Guarantee

In terms of shape and function there is no difference between a counter bank guarantee and a bank guarantee. Both are issued by banks.

The bank guarantee is usually issued by the bank and you as the principal (contractors) are required to provide funds of the required security value. The funds are held in the form of deposits during the security period. Or as a substitute it can also be in the form of fixed assets in the form of land certificates or vehicle BPKB.

While for contra bank guarantee the funds withheld are not your funds, but insurance company’s funds or guarantees from insurance companies to banks. Thus, you do not have to keep your funds in the bank during the life of the project. Even if there are only a few. So, in terms of cash flow you will be greatly helped.
