Electronic funds transfer (EFT) is the electronic transfer of money from one bank account to another, either within a single financial institution or across multiple institutions, via computer-based systems, without the direct intervention of bank staff.
EFT transactions are known by a number of names. In the United States, they may be referred to as "electronic cheques" or "e-cheques". In the United Kingdom, the term "bank payment" is commonly used term. "Bank transfer" is also used.
When made within the same financial institution, EFTs are technically known as peer-to-peer transfers.
