PetroBonds has been providing Petroleum Bonds (”PetroBonds”) to the Australian and New Zealand downstream petroleum markets since 1995.
Petroleum Bonds (“PetroBonds”) provide retail and wholesale petroleum dealers with an alternative form of contractual security to bank guarantees.
PetroBonds specialise in the downstream petroleum markets (available to retail, wholesale, commercial, aviation and marine accounts) and have developed a reputation as a trusted, reputable source of advice and capacity in this niche market.
LeaseBonds for Petrol / Service stations were introduced in 2020 as a unique product for retail customers to assist in securing their leases without the need for cash outlay.
Traditional security deposits such as bank guarantees and or charges over real estate assets incur an ongoing opportunity cost on a Dealers balance sheet for the life of the petroleum supply agreement.
PetroBonds are provided on an unsecured basis and as such Dealers are free to utilise their cash and or real estate assets as they see fit. PetroBonds incur no ongoing opportunity costs on working capital.
PetroBonds are a simple, cost effective means of meeting a Dealers financial security obligations to their wet stock suppliers.
PetroBonds are also an innovative solution to the issue of securing an oil companies financial exposure in the event of default or failure of their wholesale and retail customers.

Petro LeaseBonds
Leasebonds are an alternative to bank guarantees for commercial lease agreements and are identical to a bank guarantee; they have the same wording and are an unconditional, irrevocable, pay on demand undertaking.
Leasebonds free up the cash collateral that is to be provided by the lessee in order to obtain a bank guarantee; the lessee’s working capital is improved by retaining valuable cash reserves. No tangible securities are required from the lessee. In order to qualify they will undergo a credit check, and once approved pay an annual premium.
Leasebonds carry exactly the same obligations at law as a bank guarantee while delivering a flexible and effective alternative to traditional guarantees.
