A bearer bond is a bond that is not registered in its owner’s name. The person holding the bond is presumed to be the owner of the bond. The interest on a bearer bond is received by clipping one of the dated interest coupons which are attached to the bond and presenting it to a bank for collection. This is the reason a bearer bond is also referred to as a coupon bond. Today, bearer bonds are almost nonexistent.

"I am currently employed as a commercial analyst in a media agency. I became a PRO user because I needed a self-paced accounting course that had depth, with good explanations and good examples. I do not at all regret this purchase and have even recommended it to a few of my friends. I now understand so many basic concepts that my university courses didn't explain that well, and there are also many complicated concepts that are explained very easily. Hands down, the best course I have ever purchased; and I have taken a lot of courses on other platforms. The course has helped me understand the core of accounting, and then some. I am a good analyst because of this course." - Arjun P.
