https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_funds_transfer

"EFT transactions are known by a number of names across countries and 
different payment systems. For example, in the United States, they may 
be referred to as "electronic checks" or "e-checks". In the United 
Kingdom, the term "bank transfer" and "bank payment" are used, while in 
several other European countries "giro transfer" is the common term."
