Korean Bank Transfer Words: A Briefing-Style Lesson
Learn Korean bank transfer words for practical life in Korea with Korean examples, key meanings, review tables, and BSKorean app practice.
1. When to use these phrases
How to use this bank transfer lesson
This lesson is for foreign residents who need to send money from a Korean bank counter, ATM, or mobile banking screen. A transfer can feel stressful because the words are short, formal, and usually appear beside numbers. Learn the words for account number, recipient, sender, transfer fee, deposit, withdrawal, receipt, and confirmation before you press the final button.
Start with one practical sentence: 송금하고 싶어요. It means “I want to make a transfer.” At a counter, show the account number slowly and ask the staff to confirm the recipient name with 받는 사람 이름을 확인해 주세요. On an ATM, check the bank name, account number, amount, recipient, and fee before choosing 확인.
Common transfer situations
| Situation | Korean phrase | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ask for help | 송금하는 방법을 알려 주세요. | Please show me how to make a transfer. |
| Check the recipient | 받는 사람 이름이 맞나요? | Is the recipient name correct? |
| Ask about the fee | 수수료가 얼마예요? | How much is the fee? |
| Request proof | 영수증을 받을 수 있어요? | Can I get a receipt? |
Practice before you transfer money
Read the amount aloud once, then read the Korean screen again. If the transfer is for rent, salary, school, or a deposit, save the receipt or screenshot immediately. For more daily finance language, continue with bank account opening words and apartment management fee words.

Korean bank transfer words are easier to remember when the lesson starts from a real situation. This updated version uses a five-slide briefing flow: situation, key fields, reading order, common mistakes, and BSKorean practice.
Briefing Summary
| Situation | Sending money by bank app, ATM, or account transfer |

| Useful for | foreign residents, workers, students, and travelers staying longer in Korea |
| Study time | 8-12 minutes |
Slide 1. The Situation
You need to send money in Korea. The screen may ask for a bank, an account number, a recipient name, an amount, and a password. Even if the app has some English, the final confirmation screen may still show Korean words. Your goal is to recognize the fields that can cause a mistake.
This lesson is for language recognition only. It is not financial advice. Before sending money, always confirm the recipient, account number, amount, fee, and final confirmation screen in your own banking app.

| 수령인 | suryeongin | recipient | BS3 |
| 비밀번호 | bimilbeonho | password | BS1 |
| 확인하다 | hwaginhada | to check; to confirm | BS2 |
Slide 3. Reading Flow
- 은행: choose or confirm the bank first.
- 계좌번호: compare every digit of the account number.
- 수령인: check the recipient name before the final step.
- 금액: check the exact amount, including zeros.
- 수수료 / 잔액: notice any fee and the remaining balance.
- 확인하다: stop and read again before the final confirmation.
Slide 4. Common Mistakes
The first mistake is checking only 금액. The amount can be correct while the 수령인 or 계좌번호 is wrong.
The second mistake is missing 이체 한도. If the transfer is too large for the current limit, the app may stop the process or ask for another step.
The third mistake is moving too fast at 비밀번호 or the final confirmation screen. Treat that moment as the last checkpoint, not as a routine button press.
Slide 5. Practice With BSKorean
Practice this topic in BSKorean: Read the BSKorean app guide, then open the practice app and use the bank transfer words from this lesson. Practice recognition first: Korean word, romanization, English meaning, then the screen-check order.

Final Takeaway
You do not need to read every sentence on a bank screen to stay safer. Start with the bank, account number, recipient, amount, fee, balance, limit, and final confirmation. These Korean bank transfer words help you slow down at the right moment.
