Bank Guarantee

• Completed and signed Bank Guarantee Claim Form
• Original Bank Guarantee (if applicable)
• Copy of a current photo ID for each respective signatory which includes each signatory’s signature
• Proof of the Beneficiary’s ownership of the nominated bank account
• Proof of Authority of each authorised signatory to sign the form on behalf of the Beneficiary (if applicable).

Proof of the beneficiary’s ownership of the nominated bank account via a bank document (e.g. a bank statement) must be provided with the form.

This proof must meet all of the following requirements:

• It must be issued on the beneficiary’s bank's letterhead
• It must confirm the account name, BSB and account number that the beneficiary provided in the form
• The account name must exactly match the complete name of the beneficiary as it appears on the original bank guarantee
• It must be dated within the last 6 months of the form being signed.

We generally require the original bank guarantee to be returned with a payment claim, but if it is lost then a beneficiary may still submit a payment claim (for a full, final, or partial payment) by completing and signing the Bank Guarantee Claim Form and selecting the relevant option in Section 2.

If a partial payment claim is requested, the form will also require the beneficiary to indicate:

• if they have no further need for a bank guarantee (in which case, a new bank guarantee will not be issued for any remaining guaranteed amount); or
• if they do need a new bank guarantee for the remaining guaranteed amount (in which case, we will reissue and mail to the beneficiary a new bank guarantee in the remaining guaranteed amount).
