Warehouse Receipt System
In a warehouse receipt system (WRS) also known as warehouse inventory credit, a bank or trader relies on goods in an independently controlled warehouse to secure the credit that it provides. The warehouse operator issues warehouse receipts, in one form or another (depending on the country's legal and regulatory system), which form the basis of financing.
