In brief: the promissory note

A promissory note (IOU) is a signed, written acknowledgment of a debt. It is not a prescribed legal form but a piece of evidence – whoever holds it can enforce the claim far more easily.

Frequently asked questions

How is a promissory note different from a loan agreement?
A loan agreement is a two-sided contract that also covers disbursement and the lender’s duties. A promissory note is a one-sided acknowledgment of debt by the debtor – shorter and mainly intended as evidence. For a full arrangement, use the loan agreement.
Does the creditor sign too?
A classic promissory note is signed only by the debtor, who acknowledges the debt. You can then give the PDF to the creditor or have the creditor countersign it via Tamgara.
What does the promissory note cost?
Template, filling in, signing and download are free – no sign-up, no ads. Tamgara is funded through optional extras such as AI document detection (a small fee per scan or a low-cost subscription in the future); your data is never sold.
