Payment
A payment is the transfer of wealth from one
party (such as a person or company) to another. A payment is usually made in exchange for the provision of
goods,
services, or both, or to fulfill a legal obligation.The simplest and oldest form of payment is
barter, the exchange of one good or service for another. In the modern world, common means of payment by an individual include
money,
check,
debit,
credit, or
bank transfer, and in
trade such payments are frequently preceded by an
invoice or result in a
receipt. However, there are no arbitrary limits on the form a payment can take and thus in complex transactions between businesses, payments may take the form of
stock or other more complicated arrangements.
