Acceptance, Deferred Payment and Negotiation

Separate three LC availability/financing ideas.

Acceptance

An acceptance credit can involve a time draft drawn on a specified drawee and accepted for payment at maturity.

Deferred payment

A deferred-payment credit can create a future payment obligation without requiring a bill of exchange.

Negotiation

Negotiation concerns a nominated bank purchasing/advancing against drafts and/or documents under the credit framework.

Why wording matters

“60 days after sight” alone is not enough to identify the entire mechanism. Read fields for availability, drafts/drawee and payment tenor.

Source / standards noteThis lesson uses original plain-English explanations. Read the credit, UCP 600 and current bank practice for a live transaction.
Remember thisUsance describes future timing; acceptance, deferred payment and negotiation describe different mechanisms.
