Bills of Exchange

/bɪlz əv ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/noun
ELI5 mode

A bill of exchange is a written, unconditional order from one party to another, requiring the payment of a specified sum of money to a third party at a fixed or determinable future date. It acts as a secure financial instrument in trade and commerce, allowing businesses to defer payments and manage credit risks without immediate cash transfers, and has adapted in the digital age to include electronic versions for faster global transactions.
