By Delivery Versus Payment?

Delivery versus payment is a securities settlement process that requires that payment is made either before or at the same time as the delivery of the securities. The process is meant to reduce the risk that securities could be delivered without payment or that payments could be made without the delivery of securities.

What is the difference between pay on delivery and cash on delivery?

Cash on delivery (COD) stipulates that goods must be paid for at the time of delivery, or else the goods are returned to the seller. Delivery-versus-payment (DVP) is an arrangement whereby securities are only delivered to the buyer once payment has been made.

What is DVP and FOP?

Non-DvP settlement processes typically expose the parties to settlement risk. ... FOP settlement involves delivery of the securities without a simultaneous transfer of funds – hence 'free of payment'. Funds may either be remitted by other, mutually agreed means, or payment may not be made at all.
