How it's used
Commonly used in everyday banking contexts, this term specifically refers to transferring funds into a bank account. It is often used when asking someone to confirm a payment or when notifying a seller that a bank transfer has been completed. The focus is on the action of updating the account balance rather than the physical act of handling cash.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 存錢, which is more formal or Mandarin-influenced. While 入數 is standard for bank transfers, it is not used for putting physical coins into a piggy bank or a machine, where you would use 放入.
