drawee
Check's paying institution
A drawee is the party directed to pay a check, draft, or bill of exchange—typically a bank.
When you write a check, your bank is the drawee, the person or company you're paying is the payee, and you are the drawer.
The term appears mainly in banking and commercial law contexts.
