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).

{{item:1140988}}

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).

### 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.

{{item:1140994}}

Moving money between accounts is a transfer (تحويل).

{{item:1140997}}

### 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).
