📄 DOCUMENTS AGAINST ACCEPTANCE (D/A)
US Capital Private Bank Knowledge Base
📖 What is Documents Against Acceptance (D/A)?
Documents Against Acceptance (D/A) refers to instructions given by a shipper to their acceptance bank indicating that shipping documents attached to a time draft for collection should be delivered to the drawee (buyer/payer) only after they accept the draft.
⚙️ Key Features
-
The drawee/payer accepts a time draft, promising to pay on a specified future date.
-
The shipping documents (such as bill of lading) are released only upon acceptance, allowing the drawee to take possession of the goods.
-
The bank acts as a collecting agent, facilitating the transaction between seller and buyer.
💡 Purpose and Benefits
-
Allows buyers to obtain possession of goods before payment is made, based on acceptance of a draft payable later.
-
Provides sellers with a formal commitment to pay by accepting the draft.
-
Common in international trade where sellers extend credit terms to buyers.
⚠️ Considerations
-
Risk exists for sellers if buyers fail to pay on maturity after acceptance.
-
Sellers rely on the legal enforceability of the time draft acceptance.
-
Banks do not guarantee payment, only handle document delivery and collection.
🔄 Related Terms
-
Time Draft – A draft payable at a future specified date after acceptance.
