Bill of exchange

A bill of exchange is a loan arrangement involving three parties: a debtor who owes money, a creditor who is owed money, and a third party, such as a bank, who serves as an intermediary. A bill of exchange is a legally binding document that specifies the terms and conditions of the loan arrangement. The bill of exchange will typically include the amount of the loan, the interest rate, repayment terms, and any other relevant information. The third party, or intermediary, acts as a guarantor between the debtor and creditor to ensure that the terms and conditions of the loan are enforced. The terms of the bill of exchange are enforceable in court if either the creditor or debtor fails to comply with the terms of the agreement.
