hi everybody welcome back to top words

my name is Alisha and today we’re going

to talk about 10 things to do at a bank

these are going to be some phrases that

include some key verbs and some key

nouns for using at the bank let’s go

make a deposit make a deposit make a

deposit so a deposit means putting money

into the bank so putting your money into

your bank account to make a deposit so

deposit means put in so deposit your

lunch in the bag what deposit your money

in the bank account so put money into

your bank account is make a deposit in

the sentence I’d like to make a deposit

make a withdrawal the next word is make

a withdrawal make a withdrawal

so withdrawal is a hard word to say

withdrawal so the W sound in this word

is kind of softened a lot a withdrawal

we don’t really say withdrawal here make

a withdrawal it’s sort of like a long

all sound all withdrawal make a

withdrawal so to make a withdrawal is

the opposite of making a deposit so

making a withdrawal is taking money out

of your bank account to remove money

from your bank account that’s to make a

withdrawal in a sentence I need to make

a withdrawal from my savings account

open closed an account the next word or

the next pair actually is open in

account and close an account so to open

an account means to start a new bank

account at the bank to close an account

means to finish your account or it’s

like maybe to remove any money to

withdraw any money in the account and

finish the account so you remove your

account from that bank so to open means

to start a new account to close an

account means to remove your account

from that bank in a sentence I’m going

to open a new account for my business

apply for a loan the next expression is

apply for a loan apply for a loan many

banks also offer loan services this can

be home loans or maybe for vehicle loans

or maybe college loans as well so to

apply for a loan it’s something you can

do at a bank fill out some paperwork and

present it to the bank staff apply for a

loan in a sentence where can I apply for

a home loan apply for a credit card the

next expression is apply for a credit

card to apply for a credit card so many

banks again have credit cards available

for their customers to use so if you

would like a credit card or if you would

like to try to get a credit card you

need to complete an application at the

bank or maybe it’s an online application

so filling in your financial details

your personal details and so on so to

apply for a credit card in a sentence

you can apply for a credit card online

check your balance the next expression

is check your balance check your balance

so balance means the amount of money in

your account

that’s what balance means so to check

your balance means to check how much

money is in your bank account you can do

this online of course you can do this at

the bank but I think nowadays most

people check it online in a sentence

check your balance through online

banking cash a check the next expression

is cash a check cash a check so a check

is a type of payment that we use in the

United States though I think it’s less

common these days so a check is a piece

of paper that if it’s my check for

example the check is attached to my bank

account the piece of paper has like my

bank account number and a number that’s

special like the designates that tell

someone which bank

the account belongs to it’s called a

routing number so on this piece of paper

which has like my name and maybe my

contact information I can write an

amount of money like if I want to pay

someone $100 I can write $100 to Meg

$100 to someone and I can write why I’m

giving them that money so if I want to

write a check I can write my check and

say like this check is to Meg it’s $100

for of video for example so this is a

way to pay someone for something quickly

if you don’t have cash so maybe you

don’t have cash

you can’t use a credit card for some

reason so just like personal

transactions we can still record those

transactions by using the account number

and the routing number and this check if

using a check you can still track it in

your account as well so checks are

useful sometimes in a sentence speak to

a bank teller to cash your check ah

bonus vocabulary word teller is the word

that we use for staff at the bank

so teller means a person who like works

with money or like accounting that sort

of thing who keeps track of money a

teller a bank teller is someone who like

counts money and like helps with

transactions at the bank fill out a

deposit slip the next expression is fill

out a deposit slip fill out a deposit

slip so fill out means right essentially

so before you make a deposit or maybe

before you make a withdrawal at the bank

you need to fill out so which means

write your information on a deposit slip

so a slip is a small piece of paper

that’s what slip means as a noun a

deposit slip for example or maybe a

withdrawal slip there’s also one so if

you would like to put money into your

account you can fill out a deposit slip

that says how much money the name of

your account or your account name rather

your name and maybe like the account

number did I really say that matter but

a deposit slip fill out a deposit slip

to deposit your money in a sentence fill

out a deposit slip before you speak to

the teller make a transfer the next

expression is make a transfer make a

transfer we could use this for it make

an international transfer as well so a

transfer means sending money from one

bank account to another bank account

this could mean sending money from one

account in one bank to another account

in the same bank or it could mean

sending money to an international

account but either way there’s no cash

like physical cash being transferred

it’s an electronic transfer to make a

bank transfer to make a transfer in a

sentence I’ll make the transfer tomorrow

manage finances the next expression is

manage finances manage finances you

might see this in like Bank

advertisements like

your finances are helping you manage

your finances is something like that so

to manage your finances just means

control your monies to control your

money so your finances is like your bank

accounts your cash all of your loans or

credit cards or whatever all of that is

finances and then manage means like to

control or to take care of something so

banks will say like let us help you

manage your finances let us help you

take care of your money in other words

in a sentence it’s important to

carefully manage your finances alright
