What is a Demand Draft?
A demand draft also known as a banker’s cheque is a secure prepaid financial instrument issued by a bank on behalf of a payer. The payer can be a customer of the bank or a non-customer. It guarantees the payment to the beneficiary, making it a preferred mode of financial transaction for sizable amounts. Unlike regular cheques, the amount is debited to the payer’s account in advance, ensuring that the demand draft is fully funded and cannot bounce. It is a popular and trusted option for various financial transactions including cross-border payments, high-value purchases and settling bills. The payers can obtain a DD from their bank by providing the necessary details and paying the draft amount upfront, making it a reliable payment method.
