Open Account

Open Account is a method of settling payments for trade transactions. The supplier ships the required goods to the buyer who, after receiving and checking the related shipping documents, credits the suppliers account in his books with the invoice amount.

The account is then settled periodically, say monthly, by the buyer sending a bank draft, or arranging through his bank a telegraphic remittance in favour of his overseas party.
