Giro
Payment Method
Giro involves transferring money directly between bank accounts, without physical cheques.
I received my refund via giro.
Not Worldwide
Although common in Europe, 'giro' may be unfamiliar elsewhere, where terms like 'wire transfer' are used.
In Asia, we commonly use wire transfers instead of a giro.
Financial Institutions
Giro systems are often associated with post offices and banks in many European countries.
My local post office offers giro services.
