Spanish term

cartas promesas de pago

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Real Estate Spain
To this point I am simply using "promissory note" but I am much more used to "pagaré". I cannot find this anywhere and am starting to think that this was a translation into Spanish and someone's attempt to state "promissory note" into Spanish. But, may I am wrong. If so, where is it used? Is there a different translation than "promissory note"?


Según nos informa la empresa, las cartas promesas de pago tienen una vigencia de 180 dias pero pueden ser renovadas y etendidas a su vencimiento, quedando esta decisión a criterio del banco emisor.

Interesting, there are only four references to this term in Google, all appearing to be from Panama. Good luck... you might try some of our Panamanian colleagues with banking contacts if there are any.

commitment letters

Mike... a promissory note would not likely have "vigencia vigencia de 180 dias"

Not enough context to be sure, but sounds to me like commitment letters...

Likely involving a mortgage lender.....

A written promise from a lender that you will receive a mortgage of a specified amount at a specified rate.

a document by which the lender agrees to provide financing within a specified time and according to terms and conditions contained therein.

A letter outlining the amount, terms and conditions under which a lender is willing to offer a mortgage.

agree Silvia Brandon-Pérez : Exactly; these are mortgage commitments, more than likely.
