Tenders & projects

Common questions on Australian requirements
What are the core elements of an Australian bank guarantee?
Beneficiaries typically expect: correct parties (exact legal names, ABN/ACN), governing law and presentation rules that match the pack, the agreed amount, and a clear expiry or release. Learn the basics: what is a bank guarantee.
Will beneficiaries accept a fully digital guarantee?
Yes. Acceptance hinges on the wording and the issuing bank — not on paper. Share: digital vs paper comparison and beneficiary verification portal.
What details must match exactly?
Registered legal names (with ABN/ACN), addresses as per records or as required by the agreement, contract/lease references, amounts (numbers & words), and AUD currency. Examples: landlord template.
How do reductions, amendments, and release work?
Digitally you keep a single, authoritative record with audit trail. Use reductions (e.g., after fit-out), amendments (amount/dates/clauses where allowed), and release/cancellation when obligations end. Compare digital vs paper.
What documents should I prepare for fast acceptance?
ABN/ACN with exact names & addresses, the underlying pack and exact wording, amount and expiry/release conditions (plus any reduction plan), signer identity/authority, and recent financials (where applicable). Step-by-step: how to get a bank guarantee.
How fast can we issue under Australian requirements?
With onboarding completed and documents ready, digital issuance can complete the same business day. See: same-day bank guarantee online.
