Answer:

PAYEE

Step-by-step explanation:

A promissory note is a legal instrument in which the first party (maker) promises to pay a specific amount to another (payee) at a specific time with specific terms and conditions.

For example: I want a business loan (promissory note). I go to the bank. They write up the paperwork. The loan officer (maker) agrees to pay me the $3000 at 6% for the next 3 years. I sign the paperwork stating I accept the loan (I am now the payee).
