Φαίνεται η μεταφορά πίστωσης στην κίνηση λογαριασμού στην εφαρμογή ηλεκτρονικής τραπεζικής;

Here Φαίνεται means is visible / appears / shows up.

It is the 3rd person singular form of φαίνομαι. In everyday Greek, φαίνεται is very common when talking about whether something can be seen on a screen, in a list, in an app, etc.

So in this sentence it does not mean something like it seems in the abstract sense. It means more concretely:

• Is the credit transfer visible...?
• Does the credit transfer appear...?

η μεταφορά πίστωσης is a banking expression meaning credit transfer.

Breakdown:

• η μεταφορά = the transfer
• πίστωσης = of credit

So literally it is the transfer of credit, but in banking English that is usually rendered as credit transfer.

This is fairly formal/technical wording. In less technical speech, people might sometimes use other expressions depending on context, but μεταφορά πίστωσης is normal in banking language.

Because it depends on the noun μεταφορά.

Greek often uses the genitive where English uses of or a noun modifier:

• μεταφορά πίστωσης = transfer of credit
• κίνηση λογαριασμού = activity/history of an account
• εφαρμογή ηλεκτρονικής τραπεζικής = application of online banking

So πίστωσης is genitive singular because it tells you what kind of transfer it is.

στην is the contraction of σε + την and here it means in / on / into, depending on context.

In this sentence it appears twice because there are two location/context phrases:

• στην κίνηση λογαριασμού = in the account activity / transaction history
• στην εφαρμογή ηλεκτρονικής τραπεζικής = in the online banking app

So the sentence is asking whether the transfer appears in the account activity, specifically in the online banking application.

Greek often stacks these kinds of phrases quite naturally.

Literally, κίνηση λογαριασμού means movement of account, but that is not how you would translate it naturally.

In banking context, it means something like:

• account activity
• account transactions
• transaction history
• sometimes account statement, depending on context

So this is a good example where the literal meaning is less useful than the banking meaning.

Also note:

• κίνηση = movement, activity
• λογαριασμού = of account / of the account

For the same reason as πίστωσης: it depends on another noun.

• η κίνηση = the activity/movement
• λογαριασμού = of the account

So κίνηση λογαριασμού means account activity or activity of the account.

Greek uses this noun + genitive pattern very often, especially in formal or technical language.

The main noun is εφαρμογή = application/app.

After στην, it is in the accusative:

• στην εφαρμογή = in the app

Then ηλεκτρονικής τραπεζικής is a genitive phrase describing what kind of app it is:

• ηλεκτρονικής = electronic
• τραπεζικής = banking

So literally:

• application of electronic banking

Natural English:

• online banking app
• electronic banking application
• e-banking app

This is another very common Greek structure: a noun followed by a genitive phrase that specifies it.

Because the subject is singular:

• η μεταφορά πίστωσης = the credit transfer

Since that whole subject is singular, the verb is singular too:

• Φαίνεται η μεταφορά πίστωσης; = Does the credit transfer appear?

If the subject were plural, you would use φαίνονται:

• Φαίνονται οι μεταφορές πίστωσης; = Do the credit transfers appear?

Yes, it is a yes/no question.

Greek uses the semicolon symbol ( ; ) as the question mark. So:

• Greek ; = English ?

That means:

• Φαίνεται η μεταφορά πίστωσης ... ;

is simply a normal Greek question.

This is one of the first punctuation differences English speakers have to get used to in Greek.

Because Greek uses the definite article more often than English, and articles must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

Here:

• η μεταφορά = the transfer
• στην κίνηση = in the activity
• στην εφαρμογή = in the application/app

In English, some of these might sound optional depending on phrasing, but in Greek they are very natural and usually necessary.

Also, the forms change because of case:

• η = nominative feminine singular
• την = accusative feminine singular
• στην = σε + την

Greek word order is more flexible than English, but this sentence is still quite straightforward.

A rough structure is:

• Φαίνεται = Does it appear / Is it visible
• η μεταφορά πίστωσης = the credit transfer
• στην κίνηση λογαριασμού = in the account activity
• στην εφαρμογή ηλεκτρονικής τραπεζικής = in the online banking app

So Greek is not doing anything especially unusual here. It is just putting the verb first, which is very common in questions.

An English speaker may want to rearrange it mentally as:

• Is the credit transfer visible in the account activity in the online banking app?

That is a good way to process it.
