Dear Prem

In some countries, you can also pass on a bill of exchange to a third party as a means of payment. You may pass it on to a vendor, for example, to clear your own payables (means of payment).

You can also sell your bills of exchange receivable abroad (forfaiting). When you use the bill in this way (otherwise known as non-recourse financing of receivables) you are freed, on the sale of the bill, from any liability to recourse.

If this helps please reward with points.

Best Regards

Forfeiting is often used to allow the seller to exchange its rights to payment under such debt for cash. The debt, which is expressed as a negotiable instrument, is sold at a discount and on a non-recourse basis to a forfeiter, which is typically a financial institution
