In this NASBP Surety Story, Dan Nishikawa of First Hawaiian Bank describes how his borrower client initially was reluctant to require a bond for his construction project, but was told that the bank would not provide financing without it. Later, when the project’s contractor defaulted, the borrower was relieved to know that a bond was in place and the surety completed the project.

In this next NASBP Surety Story, Dean Hirabayashi of American Savings Bank describes how surety bonds help his bank build and sustain his community. “It’s critical that the project is completed on time, on budget. . . . As a lender, when we see that a general contractor is bonded, that means that they are highly qualified,” Hirabayashi says.

These videos, along with a copy of the slide presentation “The Benefits of Surety Bonds to Lenders,” are for NASBP members’ use for presentations to lenders. Access NASBP resources for presentations to lenders here: www.nasbp.org/informed/lender-video.
