The issuer of the promissory note is usually a bank or large enterprise, while the payee can be an individual, enterprise or bank. The term of the promissory note is usually one year, but in special cases it can exceed one year.

Generally speaking, the payment of the promissory note is not subject to any restrictions, as long as the issuer pays on the due date according to the commitment. In addition, due to the strict review and verification required for the issuance of the promissory note, its security is also relatively high.

In actual business, the promissory note is usually issued by banks or enterprises to pay for costs such as goods, shipping fees, etc. At the same time, the promissory note can also be used in areas such as financing and investment.

It should be noted that the promissory note should be strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations in use to ensure its legal and compliant use.
