A bill of exchange is a form of commercial
credit instrument, or IOU, used in
international trade. In Britain, a bill of
exchange is defined by the Bills of Exchange
Act 1882 as an unconditional order in writing
addressed by one person to another, signed by
the person giving it, requiring the person to
whom it is addressed to pay on demand or at a
fixed or determinable future time a certain
sum in money to or to the order of a
specified person, or to the bearer.
