Custody
A custodial account is a trust account owned by an individual or institution, managed by a named party for purposes of rapid distribution of funds in that account. This is commonly used for petty cash, or for transactions that have very limited and clearly defined payees and transaction types. For example, law firm accounting includes trust accounts for disbursing funds entrusted to the law firm by each client for the client’s benefit.
Escrow
An escrow is: a contractual arrangement in which a third party receives and disburses money or documents for the primary transacting parties, with the disbursement dependent on conditions agreed to by the transacting parties, or an account established by a broker for holding funds on behalf of the broker’s principal or some other person until the consummation or termination of a transaction;[1] or, a trust account held in the borrower’s name to pay obligations such as property taxes and insurance premiums.
Supply chain finance
Supply chain finance, also known as supplier finance or reverse factoring, is a set of solutions that optimizes cash flow by allowing businesses to lengthen their payment terms to their suppliers while providing the option for their large and SME suppliers to get paid early. This results in a win-win situation for the buyer and supplier. The buyer optimizes working capital, and the supplier generates additional operating cash flow, thus minimizing risk across the supply chain.
Standby L/C
Standby letters of credit are often used in international trade transactions, such as the purchase of goods from another country. The seller will ask for a standby letter of credit, which can be cashed on demand if the buyer fails to make payment by the date specified in the contract. The cost to obtain a standby letter of credit is typically 1-8% of the face amount annually, but the letter can be canceled as soon as the terms of the contract have been met by the purchaser or borrower.
Documentary L/C
A documentary letter of credit is an obligation of the bank that opens the letter of credit (the issuing bank) to pay the agreed amount to the seller on behalf of the buyer, upon receipt of the documents specified in the letter of credit. The letter of credit is opened by the bank on the basis of the buyer’s (importer’s) instructions, which are compiled in accordance with the terms of the contract. Both the importer and exporter should take into account that the letters of credit constitute a transaction separate from the purchase and sale agreement or other agreements on which they are based. The bank’s obligations under the letter of credit are set forth in the letter of credit itself, and the bank deals exclusively with documents, not with goods or services.
