Performance guarantees in construction and government contracts separate the period of performance from the period during which claims can be formally filed with issuing banks. Collateral remains locked at the bank until the claim window expires.
If project timelines slip, clients demand that contractors extend bank guarantees. If extension paperwork is delayed, the client can legally instruct the bank to remit cash collateral immediately.
Letters of credit enforce rigid 21-day document presentation rules from bill of lading issuance. Stale documents result in immediate refusal to pay by issuing banks.
