Which of the following is not a feature of a promissory note?

Correct answer: C. It is payable to the bearer

  • A. It must be in writing
  • B. It contains an unconditional promise to pay
  • C. It is payable to the bearer

Explanation

A promissory note contains the maker's written and signed unconditional promise to pay, but it is not ordinarily made payable to bearer. The bearer wording is therefore not a standard feature of a promissory note.
