menyetorkan

Menyetorkan is an Indonesian verb that denotes the act of depositing or remitting money or other valuables to an institution, account, or fund. The term implies the transfer of funds from a payer to a recipient, often as payment, savings, or contribution, and can refer to money deposited in a bank, to a loan installment, or to a collective fund. It can also describe entrusting funds to someone for safekeeping or for disbursement.

The word is formed from the root setor, meaning to deposit or pay in, with the prefix meny- to mark the agent performing the action, and the verb can take various object complements, such as uang (money), setoran (deposit), or dana (fund). The related noun setoran refers to the act or amount of a deposit.

In everyday Indonesian, menyetorkan is commonly used in financial and organizational contexts: individuals menyetorkan uang ke rekening bank; employees or retirees menyetorkan potongan gaji or setoran bulanan to a savings plan; organizations menyetorkan dana ke kas, atau pemerintah mewajibkan perusahaan untuk menyetorkan pajak.

Notes: While most often financial, the term can be used more broadly to mean entrusting or delivering funds for a specific purpose. It contrasts with membayar langsung or menarik dana, depending on the context.
