Deposit bond

What is a deposit bond?

A deposit bond is a certificate that can be used in place of the property cash deposit. It acts as a guarantee of the deposit payment and allows the purchase to delay the payment of the cash deposit until settlement.

Purchasers can use deposit bonds instead of the cash deposit required to secure the property they want to buy. Then at settlement, the purchaser simply pays the full purchase price of the property.

Deposit bonds are also known as deposit guarantees.
