Learn essential vocabulary for managing personal finances and banking operations.
Checks and the ATM
To deposit money, use the verb أودع. You might deposit a check (شيك).
| The man did not deposit a check in the bank. | ما أودع الرجل شيكا في البنك.mâ awda'a ar-rajulu sheekan fi al-banki |
When banking in person, you speak to a teller (صراف). Often it is more convenient to use the ATM, known as an automatic teller (صراف آلي).
| You must deposit an amount at the ATM. | عليك أن تودع مبلغا في الصراف الآلي.'alayka 'an tûdi'a mablaghan fî as-sarrâfi al-âliyyi |
| I took my card from the ATM. | أخذت بطاقتي من الصراف الآلي.akhadhtu bitâqatî mina assarrâfi al-âliyyi |
Balances and Transfers
Keep track of your account balance (رصيد). While أودع is the verb "to deposit," the act of making a deposit is the noun إيداع.
| The balance did not increase because the bank rejected the deposit. | ما زاد الرصيد لأن البنك رفض الإيداع.maa zaada r-raseedu li'anna l-banka rafada l-eedaa'a |
Moving money between accounts is a transfer (تحويل).
| The balance was not large, so the bank refused the transfer. | ما كان الرصيد كبيرا، فرفض البنك التحويل.mâ kâna r-rasîdu kabîran, farafada l-banku t-tahwîla. |
Loans and Installments
If you borrow money as a loan (قرض), you will need to pay off (سدد) that debt over time by paying a regular installment (قسط).
| The wife did not request a loan from the teller. | ما طلبت الزوجة قرضا من الصراف.mâ talabati az-zawjatu qardan mina as-sarrâfi |
| We have to pay off the loan installment quickly. | علينا أن نسدد قسط القرض سريعا.'alaynâ an nusaddida qista al-qardi sarî'an |
| They must make a transfer to pay the installment. | عليهم أن يجروا تحويلا لدفع القسط.alayhim an yujrû tahwîlan lidafi al-qisti |
