What is a Letter Of Guarantee?

A letter of guarantee is a document from a bank that guarantees a supplier that if a client fails to pay for goods and services provided, the bank will cover the cost.

For example, a Canadian construction company bids on a government infrastructure project that requires a letter of guarantee from the contractor's bank confirming it can fulfill a $500,000 performance bond — assuring the government client that the contractor can complete the work as promised.
