Bankers' acceptance

Japanese: バンカーズ・アクセプタンス(英語表記)bankers’ acceptance
Bankers' acceptance
Banker's acceptances in the United States. Abbreviated as BA. A BA is a bill for which a bank is the underwriter (the party that assumes responsibility for payment of the bill). The issuer is another bank or company. Although the bank is the underwriter, the true debtor = payer is someone else, so by accepting the bill, the bank incurs a contingent liability (the obligation to pay the bill in the event of the debtor's insolvency). A BA is issued, for example, when a Japanese importer has an American bank issue a letter of credit through its bank on behalf of an American or third-country exporter, and the exporter then issues a bill to this bank.

Japanese:
アメリカにおける銀行引受手形。BAと略称される。BAとは銀行が引受人(手形の支払責任引受者)である手形である。振出人は他の銀行または企業である。銀行は引受人ではあるが,真の債務者=支払人は別にいるので,手形引受けによって銀行は偶発債務(債務者の支払不能時に手形の支払をする義務)を負うことになる。BAが振り出されるのは,たとえば日本の輸入業者がアメリカあるいは第三国の輸出業者のために,自社の取引銀行を通じてアメリカの銀行に信用状を発行してもらい,輸出業者はこの銀行あてに手形を振り出す場合である。
