What is the reason for Jean's visit to the bank?
What is the reason for Jean's visit to the bank?
To "loan" money is to give money with the understanding that it will be returned at a later time. In this dialogue Jean expresses that he is expecting to "receive" money from Vladimir, and not that he wants to "loan" money to Vladimir.
Jean is not exchanging currency, which is the process of converting one currency to another. Jean is expecting to receive an "international wire transfer".
Jean begins this dialogue by telling the bank clerk that he wants to "receive a huge sum". A "huge sum of money" is a large amount of money. Jean then explains that his friend is sending the money from Kalackistan. The bank clerk then correctly identifies what Jean wants by asking, "So this is an international wire transfer?". An "international wire transfer" is the process of sending money electronically from one country to another. Jean has gone to the bank in order to obtain this information.
Jean asks the bank clerk how to receive an "international wire transfer", which is the process of sending money from one country to another (by wire, or electronically). Jean knows that the money hasn't yet been placed in his account, he is inquiring as to how this is done. "To credit" money to someone's account is to give or award someone money.
