Spanish term

traspaso, transferencia

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
I was said that "traspaso" means "internal transfer" and "transferencia" means simply "transfer". Am I right?

"Traspaso" would be to move money between two different bank accounts held by the same accountholder.

"Transferencia" would be move money between two different bank accounts held by a different accountholder each.

Is this correct?

Please, suggestions and comments. Any other possible translations?

Intra-bank transfer / interbank transfer

As used in Spain, your definitions are correct.

Most (though not all) banks and "cajas" use traspaso to refer to transfers between the accounts of the same accountholder or between different accountholders of the same bank.

While transferencia is used when transferring from one bank (or caja) to another.

One possible solution is to alternative "intra" and "inter" to refer to this.

to move currency from one bank to another | to move currency between accounts.

At least that is the way my bank calls them. You have the terms backwards.

transfer (or ¨wire¨ = informal use with online banking)

If you are asking this question on a private banking level, then the only term that you should use transfer. e.g. He transfered the money to his savingsaccount. It doesn´t matter if you are transfering money within the same bank or to another bank.

Informal: the term ´wire money´ is also used, especially in American English. Mostly when using online banking.

When you are talking about this topic on a banklevel, then vocabulary such as inter/intra banking are more specific and necessary to be used.

There is also such a thing as ´third-party transfer´, where you transfer money from John´s account at bank X to Marie´s account at bank X.

Now that most banking happens online, people will use the word ´deposit´, meaning transfer (if we´re talking about saving money) or paying the phone bill.

It all depends on context and in what country the translation will be used. I just saw an Indian bank using the term ´inter bank transfer´, but HSBC UK only uses ´transfer´...
