Siri Payment intent

Can siri payment intent only be used for user to user payments or can it be used for paying your bills too for eg from a banking app?

Ok going through the WWDC session Introducing Siri Kit, session 217, I see that an app can have its own contact list and send money to those contact using app's own payment API or using apple pay.

Is this a valid use case for Siri then ?

A banking app that is used to pay bills such as car insurance, electricity and rent. When the user creates these entities in app we can create contacts in those names such as "Car company", "Electricty company" and "Landlord". User says " Hey Siri, use "Banking" app to send 100$ to "Car company"? You ask the user "which account would you like to use for sending the payement" with a list of valid accounts (including apple pay)

Even if this is allowed ,how would you authenticate the user ?

With the voice, the same method that the police use to catch a kidnapper
