A promissory note is a financial instrument — a written, signed promise by one party (the maker or borrower) to pay a specific sum of money to another party (the payee or lender) under specified terms, including the interest rate and repayment schedule.

Promissory notes are used for personal loans between friends or family, business loans, real estate seller financing, and student loans. They are also commonly used in business transactions where one party owes money to another.
