How do I say "draft?"

Question

How do I say "draft"--a kind of check or negotiable instrument drawn against an account? Insurance companies often use this term, but I have never heard of this in Mexico.

Answer 1

I believe that "giro" is a common translation for the type of draft you are referencing. It is commonly used in "giro postal" (money order), but it is also used to refer to any sort of check or payment that is issued to a third party, such as an insurance draft.

"póliza de seguro contra robo translation English | Spanish dictionary ... dictionary.reverso.net/.../póliza de seguro ... - Estados Unidos póliza. sf. 1 (Com) (=certificado) certificate, voucher (=giro) draft pagar una póliza to pay out on an insurance policy ? póliza de seguro(s) insurance policy ..."

I found the above information by doing a google.com.mx search typing in the key words: giro poliza de seguros

Thanks for the help--I thought it was some version of "Giro," but wasn't sure what kind exactly. - stancjones, Nov 8, 2011
