receive money

Collect a payment

To receive money is to come into possession of funds from another source—through payment, gift, inheritance, or transfer.

The phrase emphasizes the recipient's end of a transaction: She received money from her parents to help with rent.

One can receive money for services rendered, as compensation, or as a windfall.
