# init(payee:currencyAmount:note:)

Initializes the send payment intent object with the specified recipient and payment information.

```
init(payee: INPerson?, currencyAmount: INCurrencyAmount?, note: String?)
```

## Parameters

`payee`

The person receiving the funds.

`currencyAmount`

The amount to transfer from the current user’s account to the `payee`.

`note`

A note to include with the payment. Use this string to convey the reason for the payment.

## Return Value

An initialized intent or `nil` if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Normally, you do not create instances of this class yourself. Instead, SiriKit creates instances when the user asks to send a payment to another user. However, you can use this method during testing to create intent objects in order to validate your intent handling code paths.
