financial guarantees
Pledged payment security
Financial guarantees are commitments by one party to cover another's debt or obligation if the original party defaults.
Banks issue guarantees backing corporate bonds; parent companies guarantee subsidiaries' loans; governments guarantee mortgages to encourage lending.
The loan required a financial guarantee from the borrower's wealthy uncle.
Unlike insurance, guarantees typically cover the full amount owed rather than actual losses incurred.
