Acceptor
The person who accepts a bill of exchange drawn on them. Until they accept, they are called the drawee. By accepting the bill the acceptor undertakes to pay the person presenting the bill the face value of that bill. On payment the acceptor retires the bill. Where the acceptor is the initial provider of the credit, by arrangement, on maturity of the bill, they require the borrower to place their funds on an amount equivalent to the face value of the bill.
