FrançaisAfter date
In banking, a notation used on financial instruments (such as drafts or bill of exchange) to fix the maturity date as fixed number of days past the date if drawing of the draft. For example, if a draft stipulates “30 days after date”, it means that the draft is due (payable) 30 days after the date it was drawn. This has the effect of fixing the date of maturity of the draft, independent of the date of acceptance of the draft. See acceptance date; after sight; bill of exchange; drawee.
