Drafts
Firms sometimes use drafts instead of checks. Drafts differ from checks because they are not drawn on a bank but on an issuer (the firm) and are payable by the issuer. The bank acts only as an agent, presenting the draft to the issuer for payment. When the draft is transmitted to a firms bank for collection, the bank must present the draft to the issuing firm for acceptance before making payment. After the draft has been accepted, the firm must deposit the necessary cash to cover the payments. This allows the firm to keep less cash on hand.
