endorsee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'authorised receiver' is the definition.
(someone authorised to receive a cheque)

'stop with gold and meet' is the wordplay.
'stop with' becomes 'end' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'meet' becomes 'see' (synonyms).
'end'+'or'+'see'='ENDORSEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endorsee that I've seen before include "he eventually gets cheque" , "one given money?" , "One to whom cheque is assigned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
