- BPersonal cheque
- CStanding order
- DCredit note
Cevap
The merchant should purchase a bank draft from the bank.
A bank draft (also known as a banker's draft) is drawn by a bank on its own account or another branch, providing guaranteed payment to the payee because the money is debited from the customer's account upfront or paid in cash at the time of issue.
