  3. NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS • What is negotiable? • Negotiable means transferable. • The negotiation that goes on refers to the transfer of the instrument between two people, or from one bank to another, or even from one country to another. • What is an instrument? • In the broadest sense, almost any agreed-upon medium of exchange could be considered a negotiable instrument. • In day-to-day banking, a negotiable instrument usually refers to checks, drafts, bills of exchange, and some types of promissory notes.

  4. FORMS OF NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS • A negotiable instrument is a written order promising to pay a sum of money. • It may be a bearer instrument, which is payable to the bearer, or it may be an instrument with highly specified terms.

  5. CHECKS • Most common form of negotiable instrument • Preferred method of payment for many debts • Offer convenience, safety, and a record of transactions

  7. DRAFTS • A draft is a three-party instrument similar to a check. • A draft is an order signed by one party (the drawer, or drafter) that is addressed to another party (the drawee) directing the drawee to pay to someone (the payee) the amount indicated on the draft. • The payment may be at sight or at some defined time. • Most drafts are used for the purchase of goods and services when the transaction goes beyond the bounds of U.S. banking law.

  8. BILLS OF EXCHANGE • A bill of exchange is a negotiable and unconditional written order, such as a check, draft, or trade agreement, addressed by one party to another. • The receiver of the bill must pay the specified sum or deliver specified goods on demand or at a specified time. • Bills of exchange are a common form of internationally negotiable instruments.

  9. PROMISSORY NOTES • A promissory note is a written promise to pay at a fixed or determinable future time a sum of money to a specified individual. • These two-party instruments are legally binding documents with many specified terms that vary widely. • Commercial paper, a short-term (270 days or fewer) note or daft issued by a corporation or government, is a common investment instrument.

  18. CONSUMER PAYMENTS • Charge cards • Credit cards • Cash cards • Debit cards • Smart cards

  19. CHARGE CARDS • With a charge card, a consumer makes purchases but must pay the account in full at the end of the month. • Charge cards, in effect, lend the amount of purchases for a month. • Originally charge cards were store cards, but eventually third-party companies formed networks of participating businesses to expand the market. • American Express is the most prominent national charge card.

  20. CREDIT CARDS • Credit cards allow consumers to pay all or part of their bills each month and finance the unpaid balance. • Using a credit card involves two banks—the bank that issued the card and the retailer’s bank.

  21. STEPS IN CREDIT CARD PURCHASE • A consumer uses a credit card. • The retailer sends the credit slip to its own bank. • The retailer’s bank pays the retailer, records the transaction, and sends credit slip to a clearing system. • The clearing system routes the credit slip to the issuing bank. • The issuing bank pays the retailer’s bank and collects from the consumer.

  22. CASH CARDS • Cash cards are commonly used at an automated teller machine (ATM). • Consumers can get cash, make transfers and deposits, or perform other banking functions by inserting the card and entering a personal identificationnumber (PIN).

  23. DEBIT CARDS • Debit cards transfer money from a person’s designated account to the account of the retailer. • A debit card allows an immediate point-of-sale (POS) transaction.

  24. SMART CARDS • Smart cards are credit, debit, or other types of cards with embedded microchips. • The microchips store values and use the embedded logic to change values and record transactions.
