discounter

The discounter had fallen into the trap; he had thought that he had recognized the bankers signature.

"A confounded bill discounter to whom our friend here has introduced me,—for his own purposes," said Phineas.

The discounter is therefore a holder in due course, and he would be able to collect on the note.

Mr. Morgan, the bill-discounter, gave goods as well as money to his customers.
