A bill of exchange is a consignment from the issuer to the payee, a third party, to the payee or his/her instruction to pay a certain amount. The requirements for bills are stipulated in the Bills of Exchange Law (Law No. 20 of 1932). A bill of exchange is a payment consignment from the issuer to the payee, and the act of the payee assuming the obligation to pay the bill amount in response to this is called acceptance, and by accepting, one becomes an acceptor. A bill of exchange may be transferred by endorsement. To receive payment, the holder must present it to the payor or paying agent. In the case of bills payable at a fixed date, at a fixed time after date, or at a fixed time after sight, presentment for payment must be made on the day payment is due and on the two following trading days. Bills of exchange are often used for international settlements, as they facilitate settlement between distant creditors and debtors without the direct transportation of cash.

振出人が、第三者である支払人にあてて、受取人またはその指図人に一定の金額の支払いを委託する手形。手形要件などについては手形法(昭和7年法律20号)に定められている。為替手形は、振出人が支払人にあてた支払委託であって、これに応じて支払人が手形金額の支払義務を負担する行為が引受けであり、引受けをすることによって引受人となる。 為替手形は裏書によって譲渡することができる。手形所持人が支払いを受けるには、支払人または支払担当者に支払いのための呈示をしなければならない。確定日払手形、日付後定期払手形、一覧後定期払手形にあっては、支払いの呈示は、支払いをなすべき日およびこれに次ぐ2取引日にしなければならない。なお、為替手形は、現金の直接輸送なしに遠隔地の債権者・債務者間の決済を容易に行うことができるため、国際間の決済によく利用される。 [太田和男] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
