Cheque Discounting
 
The discounting of post-dated cheques is a product designed for businesses which accept post-dated cheques from their clients for products or services offered. In today’s business environment, high liquidity is particularly important for the viability of any business. Companies that trade in cash have a distinctive advantage over their competitors.
