banking
The entirety of the business and services offered by banks, especially the processing of payment transactions. The term is usually used in the context of online or mobile banking.
Durch Online-Banking kann ich meine Finanzen jederzeit und von überall verwalten.
With online banking, I can manage my finances anytime and from anywhere.
'Banking' is a word from English. Like many nouns borrowed from English that end in '-ing' and describe an activity, it is neuter: das Banking.
Das Banking per App ist für mich am einfachsten.
Banking by app is the easiest for me.
The word 'Banking' is most commonly used in German as part of compound nouns such as 'Online-Banking' (online banking) or 'Mobile-Banking' (mobile banking).
Bitte aktivieren Sie Ihr Online-Banking, um Überweisungen zu tätigen.
Please activate your online banking in order to make transfers.
In everyday language, 'Banking' is often combined with simple verbs like 'machen' (to do) or 'nutzen' (to use) to describe carrying out banking transactions.
Ich muss später noch schnell mein Banking machen.
I still need to quickly do my banking later.
payment transactions
'Banking' and 'Zahlungsverkehr' both have to do with financial transactions. 'Banking' refers more to using banking services, especially online or on a mobile phone, for example checking your account balance or making a bank transfer. 'Zahlungsverkehr' more specifically means all movements of money between people, companies, or banks, for example bank transfers, card payments, or cash payments. Learners may confuse the words because 'Zahlungsverkehr' often happens during 'Banking'. 'Banking' describes access and banking services more; 'Zahlungsverkehr' describes the payments themselves.
Für mein Banking benutze ich meistens die App meiner Bank.
For my banking, I usually use my bank's app.
Vor der Reise prüft meine Kollegin, ob der Zahlungsverkehr mit der Firmenkarte funktioniert.
Before the trip, my colleague checks whether payment transactions with the company card are working.
