Bankers’ acceptance
Bankers’ acceptance is a source of financing which protects you from interest rate increases over the term of the loan, in addition to offering more attractive borrowing conditions than other types of short term financing. This low-cost financing solution is an excellent substitute to traditional short term loans and the pre-established term helps determine the exact cost of the loan over the chosen period.
