kasowe

Kasowe is a Polish term that functions primarily as an adjective derived from kasa, meaning cash. It describes things related to cash handling, cash transactions, or the cash desk. In financial and accounting contexts, kasowe is used in phrases such as transakcje kasowe (cash or spot transactions), operacje kasowe (cash operations), and wpłaty kasowe or wypłaty kasowe (cash deposits and cash withdrawals). The term also appears in the concept of rynek kasowy, the cash market, where assets are traded for immediate delivery and settlement, as opposed to markets for futures or forwards.

In retail and banking, kasowe operations cover routine cash management tasks performed at the teller window or at a cash register, including cash counting, change making, and cash handling procedures. The etymology traces to kasa, money or cash box, with the suffix -owy forming an adjective used to qualify nouns related to cash. Kasowe is thus distinct from terms referring to credit, electronic payments, or non-cash settlements. Notably, kasowy as a standalone noun is not used; rather, the term appears in compound forms. In everyday language, kasowe refers to tangible cash handling and payments rather than non-cash or digital transactions.
