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 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
