lump sum payments
Single large transfers
Lump sum payments are single, one-time disbursements of money rather than installments spread over time.
Someone might receive a lump sum from a legal settlement, pension buyout, or lottery win: She opted for the lump sum instead of monthly payments.
The phrase emphasizes completeness—the entire amount delivered at once.
