Money order background

A bill of exchange is a commission for unconditional payment, with three parties: the drawer, the drawee, and the payee.
1. Drawer: A legal person, other organization, or individual that issues notes and delivers them to others. The drawer bears the guarantee responsibility to the bearer and the legitimate bearer that the bill must be paid or accepted when prompting payment or acceptance. The beneficiary and the legitimate holder are usually the exporter, because the exporter pays this import order to the importer at the same time or later to export the goods or services, and orders the latter to pay.
2. Drawee / Payer: Also called "payer", it refers to the person entrusted by the drawer to pay the amount of the bill, and the person who accepts the payment order. In the import and export business, it is usually the importer or bank. Under the collection payment method, it is usually the buyer or the debtor; under the letter of credit payment method, it is usually the issuing bank or its designated bank.
3. Payee: A person who requests payment from a payer on the basis of a bill of exchange. A creditor of a bill of exchange, usually a seller, is a person who collects money.
International trade settlement is basically non-cash settlement, and a bill of exchange is a commonly used payment tool in international commerce. In domestic trade, the seller usually delivers the goods without clearing the account, and the commercial invoice indicating the payment amount and payment method follows, and the buyer can usually obtain the goods without signing any formal documents that acknowledge his obligations. In contrast, in international trade, due to a lack of trust, the buyer must pay the purchase price or make a commitment to pay before obtaining the goods. The use of bills of credit for the purpose of payment of money and negotiable transfers is the main settlement instrument. In accordance with international practice, people use bills of exchange to settle transactions. It is an order issued by an exporter that requires an importer or its agent to pay a specific amount at a specific time.
English definition:
A bill of exchange or draft is an unconditional order in writing prepared by one party (drawer) and addressed to another (drawee) directing the drawee to pay a specified sum of money to the order of a third person (the payee), or to the bearer, on demand or at a fixed and determinable future time.
Money order functions:
Payment function; exchange function; credit function; settlement function; financing function.
Bills of exchange were created with the development of international trade. Buyers and sellers in international trade are far apart, and the currencies they use are different, so they cannot be settled as easily as domestic trade. There is a long process between shipping the goods from the exporter to receiving the goods from the importer. During this time, one must provide credit to the other, either the importer provides payment or the exporter sells the goods on credit. Without a strong intermediary guarantee, the importer is afraid that the payment will not be received and the exporter is afraid that the payment will not be received, and this international trade will be difficult to proceed smoothly. Later, the bank participated in international trade. As an intermediary between the import and export sides, the importer issued a letter of credit to the exporter through the issuing bank to guarantee the exporter: After the goods are shipped, as long as the exporter submits a full set of letters of credit to the negotiating bank on time The document can receive the payment; the negotiating bank issues the bill of exchange payer to the issuing bank, and the issuing bank guarantees to pay after seeing the negotiating bank draft and a full set of letters of credit, and at the same time guarantees to the importer , Can receive the goods documents they imported in time to pick up at the port.

Bill of exchange legislation

Bills can be divided into bills of exchange, promissory notes, and checks. In international trade settlement, the use of bills of exchange is predominant.

4, according to the circulation area-domestic bills, international bills of exchange.

Bank draft

There are many types of bank drafts. There are two common types of bank drafts. Bank drafts and banker's acceptance bills are more commonly used by enterprises. The former requires a company to have a full payment in the bank before applying for a corresponding amount That is, if you want to open a bank draft of 1 million yuan at the bank, you must have a deposit of more than 1 million yuan in the bank account. The latter depends on the credit line of the bank to the enterprise. The bank pays a part of the deposit, and the balance can be secured by collateral (such as issuing a bank acceptance bill of 1 million, the company pays 30% of the bank's deposit of 300,000, and the other 700,000 enterprises can use land, factory buildings, warehouse receipts, etc., if the corporate reputation is good , Or you can pay the full amount as long as you pay part of the margin)
If you are the payee, if you receive a bank draft from someone else, you can prompt the bank to pay immediately, and the bank will transfer the corresponding amount to your account.
If you receive a banker's acceptance bill, you can prompt the bank to pay at the above deadline, you can also apply to the bank for a discount before the deadline (the bank will deduct the corresponding interest), or you can pay the ticket to your next house. [2]

Bill of exchange

Various acts in the use of bills are regulated by the bill law. There are mainly ticketing, prompting, acceptance and payment. If transfer is required, endorsement is usually required. If a bill of exchange is refused, a certificate of rejection and recourse must be made. The sketch of the bill's bill behavior is shown in the figure:

Bill of exchange

(Draw / Issue). The issuer issues the bill of exchange and delivers it to the payee. After the ticket is issued, the drawer is responsible for ensuring that the bill is accepted and paid. If the bill of exchange is refused to be paid, the drawer shall accept the recourse of the holder to settle the amount of draft, interest and related expenses.
There are three ways to stipulate the payee when issuing a ticket:
1. Restrictive payee. This kind of money order is usually marked "pay ABC Co. Ltd. only" or "pay ABC Co. Ltd., not negotiable". Such bills are not transferable.
2. The indicative order (To order) is usually marked with "pay ABC Co. Ltd. or Order" or "pay to the order of ABC Co. Ltd.". This bill can be transferred to a third party by endorsement.
3. The bearer or to bearer is often marked with "pay to bearer" or "pay to ABC Co. Ltd. or bearer". Such bills can be transferred without endorsement by the holder.

Bill of Exchange Tips

Presentation is the act of the holder to submit the bill of exchange to the payer for acceptance or payment, and it is the necessary procedure for the holder to obtain the right to the bill. Prompts are divided into payment prompts and acceptance prompts.

Draft acceptance

Acceptance refers to the act of the payer signing the bill of exchange when the holder presents it to the forward draft, promising to pay when the bill of exchange is due. The specific method is that the payer writes "Accepted" on the front of the bill of exchange, indicates the date of acceptance, and returns it to the holder after signing. As soon as the payer accepts the bill, it becomes the acceptor to assume the legal liability of paying the bill when it is due.

Bill of exchange

Payment. On the due date of the bill, the payer pays the full amount to the legal holder who presented the bill. The holder will write off the draft to the payer as proof of receipt. The debt-debt relationship represented by the bill was terminated.

Endorsement

Endorsement. Bills include drafts that are negotiable securities. According to China's "Bill Law", unless the drawer states "not transferable" on the bill, the payee of the bill can transfer the right of the bill by endorsement. That is, sign your name on the back of the bill of exchange, record the name of the endorsed person, and then hand the bill to the endeemed person, the assignee, who becomes the holder and the creditor of the bill. The assignee has the right to reassign the bill by endorsement. When the bill of exchange has been transferred more than once, the endorsement must be continuous, that is, the endorsed and endorsed names are consistent. For the assignee, all previous endorsers and drawers are his priorparties. For the endorser, all his assignees after his transfer are his "backhands". Hand-to-hand takes responsibility for the acceptance and payment of the bill of exchange. In the financial market, the most common endorsement transfer is the discount of a bill of exchange, that is, the forward bill has not yet expired after acceptance, and the bank or discount company acts as the assignee after the bearer endorses. After deducting the discounted interest settled from the face value, the balance is paid to the holder. The formula for calculating the balance after discounting is: balance after discounting = par value-(par value X discount rate X days / 360)-related expenses

Bill of exchange discount

Discounting refers to the behavior of a holder of a bill of exchange after the acceptance of the forward bill in the discount market before the bill has expired, and the transferee pays the bill to the person after deducting the discount interest. Or the bank's purchase of unexpired bills.
Generally speaking, bill discounting can be divided into three types: discounting, re-discounting and rediscounting.
Discounting: Refers to the bill holder's acceptance of the bank's acceptance bill in order to obtain funds before the due date of the bill, and the transfer of the bill's rights to the bank's bills is a way for the holder to transfer funds to the bank.
Rediscount: refers to a commercial bank that, when the funds are temporarily inadequate, gives the bills that have been discounted but have not yet expired to other commercial banks or discount institutions for discounting in order to obtain financing.
Rediscount: Refers to the act of the central bank to provide commercial banks with financing support by buying discounted but not yet expired commercial bills held by commercial banks.

Draft Chargeback and Recourse

(Dishonour & Recourse). The bearer reminds the payer that the payer refuses to pay or refuses to accept it, which is said to refuse to pay. In addition, the payer flees, dies, or declares bankruptcy, so that the holder cannot realize the reminder, which is also called chargeback. In the event of a chargeback, the holder has recourse. That is, the right to demand payment of the amount of drafts, interest and other expenses from its former (endorser, drawer). Before recourse, a refusal certificate and a notice of refusal must be made in accordance with the regulations. Reject certificate. It is used to prove that the ticket holder has been presented but no result was obtained. The notary institution at the place of payment may also issue the reason for the refund, or the relevant judicial documents. Chargeback notice. It is used to inform the predecessor of the fact of the refusal to make it ready for repayment and recourse.

Draft Features

1. From the perspective of the parties, when a bill is issued, there are three basic parties: the drawer, the payer, and the payee. The issuer is the person who issues the bill, the payer is the person entrusted by the drawer to pay the bill amount, and the payee is the person who requested the payer to pay the bill amount by virtue of the bill.
Second, a bill of exchange is a commissioned security, which is a payment order. Therefore, the issuer and the payer of the bill of exchange must have a true entrusted payment relationship and a reliable source of funds to pay the amount of the bill of exchange.
3. Forward bills are subject to acceptance. Acceptance is a legal act unique to bills of exchange. It refers to a bill behavior in which the payer promises to pay the amount of the bill of exchange on the due date of the bill of exchange. Once the bill is accepted, the payer replaces the drawer and becomes the main debtor of the bill.
Fourth, payment days are diversified. In addition to bills payable upon sight, there are also situations such as scheduled payments, regular payments after the issuance of bills, and regular payments after the sight of the bill. [3]

Draft difference

Links to cashier's checks and checks
Of the same nature
(1) All securities with rights. That is to say, the holder of the bill proves the rights of the bill to obtain property by virtue of the rights recorded in the bill.
(2) All are format securities. The format of the bill (its form and recorded matters) are strictly regulated by the law (the bill law), and non-compliance with the format has a certain effect on the effectiveness of the bill.
(3) All are written securities. The content of the rights of the bill and all matters related to the bill are subject to the words written on the bill, and are not affected by matters other than the words on the bill.
(4) All securities are tradable. If the creditor's rights of a general debt contract are to be transferred, the debtor's consent must be obtained. And as a negotiable instrument. It can be freely transferred and circulated through endorsement or simple procedures for delivery of notes without endorsement.
(5) All are unsecured securities. That is, the existence of rights in the bill is determined only by the text on the bill itself. The holder of the right to the bill is only necessary to hold the bill. As for the reasons for the right holder to obtain the bill, the reason for the occurrence of the bill right can be ignored. The existence of these reasons, whether they are valid or not, have no effect on the rights of the instrument in principle. As of 2013, because China's bills are not yet in the sense of full bill law. It's just a way of bank settlement, and this non-causality is not absolute.
Has the same ticket function
(1) Exchange function. With this function of bills, the space barriers to cash payments between the two places are resolved.
(2) Credit function. The use of notes can solve the time barrier of cash payment. The bill itself is not a commodity, it is a written proof of payment based on credit.
(3) Payment function. The use of bills can solve the trouble of cash payment procedures. Bills can be used as multiple transfers through endorsement, becoming a circulation and payment tool in the market, reducing the use of cash. Moreover, due to the development of the bill exchange system, bills can be centrally cleared through the bill exchange center, simplifying settlement procedures, accelerating capital turnover, and improving the efficiency of social capital use.
Different from cashier's checks and checks
(1) Promissory note is the agreed (appointed payment) securities; drafts are entrusted (entrusted payment) securities; cheques are entrusted payment securities, but the trustee is limited to banks or other legal financial institutions.
(2) China's bills differ in the area of use. This check is only used for the settlement of commodity transactions and labor services and other payments in the same city; cheques have been used nationwide since 2007; bills of exchange can be used in the same city and in different places.
(3) Different payment terms. This bill is payable for one month, and overdue payment banks will not accept it. Our country's commercial bills (divided into bank acceptance bills and commercial acceptance bills) must be accepted. Therefore, the acceptance can only be honored if the acceptance is due. When the commercial acceptance bill's due date is insufficient to pay the account, the bank that opened the account shall return the commercial acceptance bill to the payee or endorser, and it shall handle it by itself. Bank acceptance bills are due for payment on the due date, but the acceptance due date has passed. The holder has not requested how to handle the payment. There is no stipulation in the "Bank Settlement Measures". Each professional bank has made some supplementary provisions. If the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China stipulates that the holder does not request payment within one month after the acceptance date, the acceptance will become invalid. The check payment period is 5 days (10 days for the transfer check endorsement in the transfer endorsement area. From the day after the issuance, the due date will be extended on regular holidays). [4]
(4) There are three basic parties to a bill of exchange and cheque, namely, the drawer, the payer, and the payee; and this check has only two basic parties: the drawer (the payer and the drawer are the same person) and the payee.
(5) There must be a financial relationship between the issuer and the payer of a check before a check can be issued; there must not be a financial relationship between the issuer and the payer of a bill; the issuer and the payer of this check are the same person There is no so-called funding relationship.
(6) The main debtor of the check and promissory note is the drawer, and the main debtor of the bill of exchange is the drawer before acceptance and the acceptance after acceptance.
(7) Forward bills need to be accepted. Cheques are generally accepted at sight and cashier's orders are not required to be accepted.
(8) The drawer of the bill of exchange guarantees the acceptance of the payment. If there is another acceptor, the acceptance of the payment is guaranteed by the acceptor; the check of the checker guarantees the payment of the check;
(9) Holders of checks and promissory notes have recourse only against the drawer, while holders of drafts have recourse against the drawer, endorser, and acceptor during the validity of the bill.
(10) There is a copy of the bill of exchange, but there is no cashier's check or check.
