Payee, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
bearer
'payee perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bearer that I've seen before include "native servant" , "Mourner carrying the coffin at a funeral" , "One presenting cheque" , "Messenger - coffin-carrier" , "Coffin carrier (one paid on demand?)" .)
