I presume whoever you wrote the cheque out to.
Payees are not necessarily in one-to-one correspondence with the
accounts at the other ends of transactions.
(a) The payee might be the name of an agent for whomever you are paying.
(b) the other account might be more like a Quicken category than a payee,
perhaps "Automobile expense" instead of "Jim's gas station".
