Who are the parties of a bill of exchange?

The two parties of a bill of exchange are the drawer, and the drawee.

  • The drawee is the party who needs to repay the capital. Though, it is important to note that sometimes the drawee is not the borrower—it might be a third party.
  • The drawer is the party who lent the money and is designated as the recipient of the payment from the drawee.
