The Banker’s Guarantee/Insurance Bond amount required is S$5,000. It is required for all new MPA account applications (except for exempted entities) and shall be valid for one year from the date of application of account. The Banker’s Guarantee/Insurance Bond requirement of each applicant is subject to regular review by MPA.

The following entities are exempted from the security deposit requirements:

  1. Singapore Government agencies
  2. Charities and Institutions of a Public Character
  3. Industry organisations and associations as classified in the SMF Singapore Maritime Services Guide
  4. MPA public licensees
  5. Local individuals who own pleasure craft owners
  6. Corporate customers with an annual turnover of less than $5,000 with MPA

Why Insurance Bond?

Banker’s guarantee will often impose full cash collateral to secure the guarantee on top of bank fees. Insurance bond, on the other hand, offers a smarter alternative. It allows greater financial flexibility, freeing up capital requirement for business expenses and to take advantage of commercial opportunities.
