A Promise to Pay Contract is commonly used when one party (the lender) extends credit or loans money to another party (the borrower). This type of contract is essential in both personal and business contexts, providing legal protection for the lender while clearly defining the borrower's obligations. The document typically includes the principal amount, interest rate, payment schedule, default provisions, and any collateral arrangements. Under U.S. law, Promise to Pay Contracts must comply with state-specific requirements and federal regulations, including usury laws and the Uniform Commercial Code. These contracts can be either secured (backed by collateral) or unsecured, and may include additional provisions such as acceleration clauses or prepayment penalties.
