Answer 1

Answer:

"A banker's acceptance" is a promise of future payment issued by a firm and guaranteed by a bank that is used to finance international trade with typical maturities ranging from one to six months.

Explanation:

A banker's acceptance is a characteristic short-term loan or rather a fixed-rate loan used for international trade.​ It is safer, easier, gives the seller assurance of getting paid by the buyer's bank. The bank is obligated to pay the party offering service, in this case, "the exporter" at a later time. The buyer's bank after conducting checks to ascertain how creditworthy the buyer who approached them might be, finally they agree to pay the seller with the buyer's account debited as this works as additional security for both parties. Banker's acceptance is considered investments, one of the reasons is that it can be held until maturity or sold at a discount before maturity.
