释义

名词

由新加坡政府推行的全国电子转账服务，国人可通过此服务缴交各种账单的费用。

 

DEFINITION

Noun

A nationwide electronic money transfer service introduced by the Singapore Government, which can be used to pay bills.

由来
  • “财路”转账服务的英文名称为 “General Interbank Recurring Order”，简称 “GIRO”，因此中文音译为“财路”。
  • “财路”是1984年成立的转账服务，服务的主要对象为结算机构、客户及银行。“财路”的推出配合了1985年3月14日推出的“少用现款交易运动” (National Campaign to Minimise Cash Transactions)。这项为期三个月的运动主要有三个目的: 鼓励国人允许雇主将他们的薪金转入银行、运用财路缴交账单费用和推广电子付费 (Electronic Funds Transfer) 的使用。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin name “财路” is the transliteration of “GIRO”.
  • GIRO was set up in Singapore in 1984. It is a mechanism for transferring funds between billing organisations, customers and banks. It was launched in conjunction with the National Campaign to Minimise Cash Transactions on 14 March 1985. The three-month campaign served three purposes: encourage Singaporeans to receive their salaries from their employers via direct transfer to their bank accounts; encourage Singaporeans to pay their bills through GIRO; and promote the use of Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale.
