# Charges

Charges are payments executed against Debt Accounts.. They can run immediately, be scheduled into the future, or in some cases, may be processed without the need for associated Debt Accounts.. This flexibility allows for swift, ad-hoc transactions, making it convenient for various financial operations and accommodating different payment scenarios.
