Promissory notes can be divided into a trader's note and a banker's note. A trader's note is issued by a firm, and a banker's note by a bank. As commercial credit is generally believed not as trustworthy as a banker’s credit, trader’s note, therefore, is rarely used in international trade. And the bank's note is often payable on demand.

本票可分为贸易商本票和银行本票。贸易商本票是由一家企业签发的, 银行本票是银行签发的。由于商业信用一般认为不如银行信用可信, 因此, 贸易商本票在国际贸易中很少使用。银行本票通常是见票即付。
