accommodation party

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
accommodation party

One who signs a promissory note even though he or she receives no direct economic benefit from it.Typically, a financially strong party who must add his or her name to the transaction or the true borrower would not qualify for the loan. There is a widespread and mistaken belief among accommodation parties that they simply signed their name but will not be held responsible if the loan goes into default. This is incorrect; they will be held liable for the full amount of the loan if there is a default.(Do not confuse with accommodating party.)
