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.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the payment requirement
The payment must be guaranteed by a financial institution to eliminate the risk of dishonour or non-payment.
High-value trade debts between distant locations require secure and guaranteed payment methods.
2
Evaluate the nature of a bank draft
A bank draft is drawn by a bank on itself or its agent bank after receiving cash or debiting the purchaser's account.
Because the bank itself is liable for payment, a bank draft cannot be dishonoured for lack of funds.
