What is open account?
Answer:
Open account is a trade arrangement under which goods are shipped by an exporter without guarantee of payment. This is similar to offering credit to a customer, with the exporter bearing all the risks of offering credit. Open account payment should only be used if you have an established relationship with the buyer and I typically for exports within the EU.
