What does PAYEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
The person or organization named to receive a payment, especially the name written on a check or money order.
A payee is identified by name on financial instruments such as checks, so a bank can confirm that the money reaches the intended recipient rather than anyone who happens to be holding the paper. Businesses also use payee more broadly for anyone due to receive funds, including a vendor listed in an accounting system or a beneficiary named on a wire transfer. The word pairs naturally with payer, the person or party responsible for making the payment in the first place.
