Endorsee

/ˌɛndɔːrˈsiː/ noun

Definition

A person who receives an endorsement or to whom a document is endorsed.

Etymology

From 'endorse' + '-ee' (suffix indicating the recipient of an action). This legal term emerged as commerce and banking required precise language for document transfer.

Kelly Says

In banking, the endorsee is the lucky person who gets paid—when you sign the back of a check and give it to someone, that person becomes the endorsee.
