What is an Accommodation Paper?
Accommodation paper is a third-party pledge attached to a promissory note which ensures that the recipient of the promised payment gets paid. Usually, the third party lends their credit rating power to support a borrower having a lower rating. A co-signer is the most popular instance of an accommodation party. The borrower is also referred to as the accommodated party.
