(British) credit transfer system between public institutions
Giro
A giro, also called a direct deposit, is a banking term for a method of
payment. It is almost the opposite of a
cheque. A cheque is given to the payee who deposits it in his or her
bank, whereas a giro is given by the payer to his or her bank, which transfers funds into the payee's bank, directly into his or her account. Giro is often used by
post offices as well.
