Check payee, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
bearer
'check 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 "Messenger - coffin-carrier" , "agent" , "One who helps to carry something - maybe news" , "Carrier to whom cheque may be payable" , "Mourner carrying the coffin at a funeral" .)
