giro

European payment system

Giro is a system of electronic money transfer between banks or post offices, common in Europe but rare in the United States.

In British English, a giro often refers specifically to a government benefit payment or the check itself: waiting for my giro to come through.

The word also names a type of multi-stage cycling race, most famously the Giro d'Italia.
