T/T

T/T — Telegraphic Transfer,Definition Summary: An electronic bank-to-bank wire transfer used to pay for goods.

T/T is the most widely used payment method in trade due to its speed and simplicity. Common arrangements include a deposit before production (e.g., 30%) and the balance before shipment or against a copy of the B/L. It offers flexibility but less built-in protection than an L/C, so trust between parties matters more.
