Talk:Transaction account

message: Do most US citizens or Canadians readily understand what ETFPOS means? It will cause confusion in the UK as we are familiar with the phrase and concept of a 'debit card'.  Would North Americans not understand 'debit card'?

replies: text: EFTPOS is the acronym. And there's a wikilink. And the word "debit card" is there too. And by the way, we, Canadians, have no true debit cards (like a Visa or MasterCard attached to a bank account). To buy in a store without using cash, we use an ATM card, which some of us nickname a "debit card." -- AirOdyssey 11:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

"Most current accounts have a cheque book"
Where does this come from?  Cheques are not commonly used in many European countries, and banks in these countries don't issue cheque books.  I suppose that banks in the UK issue cheque books to all customers, while banks in Sweden and Finland issue cheque books to no one.  Do the current accounts of cheque-issuing countries outnumber the current accounts of non-cheque-issuing countries?  If not, the statement on the article page is wrong.

replies: text: Perhaps it is meant to refer to the UK.  The preceding statement says that current accounts apply in the UK and countries with a UK banking heritage - would that refer to Sweden and Finland?  I'd have thought it's more likely to refer to Commonwealth countries.  Whilst I wouldn't say that cheques are -commonly- used in the UK (and they're on the decline), I still have to write two or three a year - some small clubs/societies/journals don't accept (or at least discourage) any other form of payment. 13:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: What page would be the appropriate place to list Japanese  accounts?  The official translation of the name yokin is savings account, but you use it as a current account, in the sense that you are issued a cash card, you make bank transfers using the account (automatic as well as non-automatic) and you may be (upon request) be issued a cheque book for the account.  So they fit in purpose to Current account but in name to Savings account. (Stefan2 22:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: why is the less commonly used spelling used in wiki articles?
check - 1.4B googles
cheque - 42M googles
bank check - 19M googles
bank cheque - 1M googles
jsut guessing that using the less common spelling can only create confusion for the majority of people readin an article  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.131.96 (talk) 20:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  check versus cheque 

message: "Whatever the name, these accounts are primarily meant for businessmen, firms, companies, public enterprises etc. that have numerous daily banking transactions." - this phrasing implies that private individuals other than "businessmen" (itself an irritatingly sexist term) are unlikely to possess such accounts. I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Britain it is extremely common for ordinary individuals to have a current account.86.136.253.102 (talk) 16:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In some countries (like in Canada) the term "current account" specifically means "business account". To talk about what in the UK would be known as a "current account", other terms are used such as "deposit account", "chequing account", "savings account" or simply "bank account." So it's just a question of local language, in my opinion, that may have influenced the choice of words. AirOdyssey (Talk) 16:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

The thesis of the deposit account article defines it as a transactional account.
Circular definitions are confusing.

replies: text: You will notice that deposit account also includes savings account. The deposit account is thus a more general term than current account.--Jorfer (talk) 22:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
