Demand Draft Safety Tips

Summary

Demand drafts (DD) are negotiable instruments issued by banks. They can be canceled by the issuer before being processed. Signing an agreement before the DD clears poses a risk if it gets canceled. Verify the DDs status with the issuing bank and consider a conditional agreement stating subject to successful bank clearance. DDs typically take 1-2 business days to clear, and immediate credit is usually not possible. Always check with your bank for specific policies.
