A bill of exchange is a financial instrument that involves three parties: the drawer (who creates the bill), the drawee (who is ordered to pay), and the payee (the recipient of the payment). The drawer instructs the drawee to pay a specified sum of money to the payee at a predetermined future date. Once accepted by the drawee, the bill becomes a legally binding obligation. It can be transferred to another party, allowing for flexibility in financial transactions.
