How it's used
Refers specifically to the act of taking money out of a bank account, often involving an ATM or a bank counter. While understood by everyone, it carries a slightly more formal or administrative tone compared to the everyday verb 拎錢. It is commonly seen on banking interfaces and official transaction receipts.
Examples
I want to go to the ATM to withdraw money, would you mind coming with me?
He went to the bank today to withdraw money, preparing to pay the rent.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual settings where you are just taking cash out of your wallet or asking a friend for a small loan, as it sounds overly bureaucratic and stiff in those contexts.
