Bankeinzahlung
The English phrase bank deposit is translated into German as Bankeinzahlung.
Bankeinzahlung refers to the act of putting money into a bank account. In many contexts, such as when you are at a teller window or reading a bank statement, you may simply see the word Einzahlung used to mean deposit or payment in. If you want to use a verb to describe the action of depositing money, you can use the phrase Auf ein Konto einzahlen (to deposit into an account).
What does it mean word for word?
Bankeinzahlung is a compound noun made of Bank (bank) and Einzahlung (deposit or payment in).
How does it change in a sentence?
The noun is feminine, indicated by the article die Bankeinzahlung. The plural form is Bankeinzahlungen.
Did you know?
- While Bank is used for financial institutions, the German word for a park bench is also Bank. To avoid confusion, a financial bank is often called a Geldinstitut in very formal documents.
- The word Einzahlung is derived from zahlen, which is a cognate of the English word 'toll'. Both words share an ancient root meaning to count or reckon.
- In many German-speaking regions, the concept of 'cash deposits' is still very common at physical branches, unlike the increasingly digital-only banking culture in some English-speaking countries.
