How it's used
While 轉帳 is the standard term for bank transfers, it is frequently used in casual settings when paying friends back via mobile apps. It is often paired with the particle 咗 to indicate a completed action. It is more specific than the general term 畀錢, which just means to give money.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 轉帳 with 匯款. 匯款 is typically used for international or large scale remittances, whereas 轉帳 is the go to term for everyday local bank or app transfers.
