Investopedia explains 'Accommodation Paper'

Accommodation papers enable borrowers to obtain loans for which they would not otherwise be qualified, and may also reduce the rate of interest the borrower will be charged. For example, accommodation papers may be used by parents who want to help their children obtain credit for the first time, or by parent companies supporting their subsidiaries.
