An order to pay — electronic and negotiable.

A bill of exchange is a written order from a drawer to a drawee to pay a third party. Paper drafts move slowly and acceptance is contestable. The eBE makes it singular, signed, controllable — and discountable on the same rail as every other ETR.

Why this matters

Paper drafts fail on two fronts: acceptance is contestable (signatures, copies) and endorsement chains break (lost paper). The eBE is a single MLETR-aligned record — acceptance is signed and recorded, endorsements are disclosed, and the current holder at maturity is unambiguous. B2B payment orders without paper risk.
