Distributes transactions (5)
I believe the answer is:
deals
This clue is a double definition.
'distributes' is the first definition.
(dealing is a kind of distributing)
'transactions' is the second definition.
(deal is a kind of transaction)
(Other definitions for deals that I've seen before include "Business transactions" , "Bargains" , "Passes cards around" , "Hands around the cards" , "Business agreements" .)
