We explain what a promissory note is, the requirements that must be met to issue one and a model of this accounting document.
It is known as promissory note to an accounting document that contains an unconditional promise of payment by a debtor or subscriber, in favor of another person (beneficiary or creditor).
The same document specifies the amount in which said payment will consist , the determined period of time that will be available to cancel the debt, and other similar conditions.
The name of this type of documents comes from its initial line, which commonly begins with “I owe and I will pay”, a voluntary declaration of obligations. This also distinguishes the letter or loan document: in which a promissory note is written and issued by the debtor himself , not by the beneficiary.
The origin of it, is in medieval times, with the rise of the bourgeoisie and early capitalism , as a form of a loan document that allowed disguising the collection of interests, an activity that Christian morals considered repudiable.
It is delivered to the creditor and remains in its possession until such time as it is presented to collect the debt. He will then receive the promised sum and deliver in return the document, which can only then be destroyed. It may also be the case that the creditor receives a partial sum of the amount due , but then he may withhold the promissory note until the rest of the debt is paid.
