Giro

Pro Tip 1/3

Payment Method

Giro involves transferring money directly between bank accounts, without physical cheques.

I received my refund via giro.

Pro Tip 2/3

Not Worldwide

Although common in Europe, 'giro' may be unfamiliar elsewhere, where terms like 'wire transfer' are used.

In Asia, we commonly use wire transfers instead of a giro.

Pro Tip 3/3

Financial Institutions

Giro systems are often associated with post offices and banks in many European countries.

My local post office offers giro services.
