The treasury funds can be used to send payments to an external account. You can request payments to any wallet address on any blockchain, even if the treasury does not have the required tokens to cover the payment—your team can top up the treasury with the required tokens later.
Need to request multiple payments at once? Check the Proposing Multiple Payments section.
Payment requests can only be created by team members with the Requestor role, and they require approval from team members with the Finance role before they can be executed.

🔒 Private Payments

Treasuries can create payments to near.com accounts, or directly to public wallet addresses. Both types of payments are executed within the private shard, so they are inherently private. Payments sent to near.com accounts require the recipient to log in to near.com to access and withdraw the funds. In this case, the sender appears as the confidential treasury’s account on near.com. Payments sent directly to public wallet addresses are also executed within the private shard. In this case, the recipient sees the funds come from the near.com settlement account because they are bridged from the private shard to the recipient’s public address on the destination blockchain.
