Usance

Usance refers to the utilization of economic goods to satisfy needs. In manufacturing, "usance" means "inputs." It is used in "usance bills."[1]

In medieval banking, "usance" denoted the period of time, set by custom, before a bill of exchange could be redeemed at its destination. In modern banking terminology, "usance" refers to the time between the issuance of a bill of exchange and its payment.[2]
