Managing Beneficiaries in Wafeq

Beneficiaries are the individuals or entities for whom, or through whom, financial transactions are carried out in your company. Payments can be transferred to them or received from them. Registering a beneficiary requires linking them to a bank account that supports payments. Beneficiaries are usually either:

• A supplier who receives payments.

• Or a customer who receives a refund.
