What a eBE is, why it exists, who it serves.
Long-bond draft with acceptance block, signature and audit chain.
What the acceptor is shown to accept the draft.
Present for acceptance · rail · email · in-branch.
Long bond (8.5×13) pre-rendered. Ready to send or print.
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.
A negotiable draft — controllable, discountable, discharged on chain.
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.
