"proceed with the payment" vs "proceed the payment"

The correct phrase would be "proceed with the payment," not "proceed the payment." When used as an active verb, "proceed" needs a preposition such as "from," "to," or "with." However, when used passively (for example, "The meeting will proceed"), the verb can be used as is.
