may be challenged and removed find sources credit in the thirteen colonies news newspapers books scholar jstor august 2011 learn how and when to remove this message the thirteen colonies made wide use of credit credit was used for domestic and overseas goods as well as a method of repayment 1 credit allowed colonists to defer their payments for goods and services until a later time which was a more favourable payment option than cash or barter institutions accepted credit despite its risks including that of the inability of a debtor to repay credit edit advantages edit credit from british merchants facilitated trade and provided working capital for colonial merchants and farmers 2 9 the advantages of purchasing goods on credit was avoiding currency exchanges and facilitating faster trades overseas and domestic edit colonists relied on international funds primarily from england for their early development majority of this overseas credit was in the form of a mercantile credit the english merchants for example would ship goods to the american colonies and demand payments only after six months or a year these overseas loans where available to colonists who developed close ties to english merchants the overseas credit allowed colonists to develop a system of domestic credit the domestic credit was administered in two forms book credit and promissory notes promissory notes are very similar to bonds because they detailed the amount of debt date of issue date of redemption form of repayment and an interest rate because of these characteristics promissory notes could be traded and they were considered a less risky form of a loan to issuers repayments and loan durations edit loan repayment was often in cash bills of exchange and goods some debtors repaid their loans by providing the creditor with labour alternatively children or oxen where lent to the creditor 1 typical domestic loans were issued for a time period of several months to a few years the overseas loans were usually issued for 6 months to a year this means that some domestic loans were issued more than the overseas loans and these were typically promissory note loans the longer term horizon explains the need for detailing the conditions of the issuance and the specifics of the promissory note loans as the risks of default are higher for a long term maturity debt interest rates edit because of the issuance of long term credit the merchants introduced interest rates to protect themselves from the possibility of losing their investments the average interest rates the merchants charged on an annual level were between 3 5 and 7 however some merchants charged interest rates as high as 10 on certain loans disadvantages of cash edit the colonies had many currencies and coins in circulation however there was a shortage of currency for those wishing to use it as a medium of exchange 1 there were additional costs to facilitating some trades which was avoided by the use of
