The date upon which the proceeds of a check or other instrument deposited for credit become available for withdrawal, i.e., have a value.  The term is used particularly in foreign exchange bookkeeping to indicate the date upon which the proceeds of a draft become available for the use of a customer or correspondent, or upon which a remittance becomes available in the account of the purchaser abroad.
