Korean bank transfer phrases for accounts, deposits, withdrawals, and payment confirmation

1. When to use these phrases

You are trying to send money in Korea. Maybe you need to pay rent, send money to a friend, check whether a deposit arrived, or set up an automatic payment for a utility bill. The bank app or ATM shows short Korean words such as 계좌, 이체, 입금, 출금, and 잔액. Even if the app has some English, these Korean words often appear in receipts, messages, and confirmation screens.

This lesson explains Korean bank transfer phrases for daily life. It focuses on the words you need when checking an account, sending money, confirming a deposit, and understanding automatic payments. The goal is not to make you a banking expert. The goal is to help you recognize the action you need to take before you press the wrong button.

4. Example conversation

A계좌번호를 확인해 주세요.Before sending money to another person.

B이체해 주세요.When asking someone to send money.

A입금했어요.After you have sent payment.

B입금 확인 부탁드립니다.When asking a landlord, seller, or office to check payment.

Common mistake

Mistake 1: Thinking 입금 only means cash deposit.In daily Korean, 입금 can also mean that money was sent or received. If a seller says 입금 확인 후 보내드릴게요, it means they will send the item after confirming your payment. Mistake 2: Confusing 이체 and 결제.이체 means transfer between accounts. 결제 means payment or checkout. A card payment at a store is usually 결제, but sending money from your account is 이체. Mistake 3: Ignoring 수취인 before confirming.Do not check only the number. On Korean bank screens, the recipient name is a key safety check. If the 수취인 does not match the person or company you expect, stop and ask before sending money.
