What Is a Commercial Draft?

Commercial drafts are issued by the drawer, and the entrusted payer unconditionally pays the specified amount to the payee or the holder of the bill. Commercial bills are divided into commercial acceptance bills and bank acceptance bills. Commercial acceptance bills are accepted by payers other than the bank (the payer is the acceptor), and bank acceptance bills are accepted by the bank. The payment period of a commercial bill of exchange must not exceed 6 months (electronic commercial bills can be extended to one year). [1]
