siirtomaksun

Siirtomaksun is the genitive form of siirtomaksu, a Finnish noun that denotes a fee charged for transferring something. In common usage, siirtomaksu refers mainly to a transfer fee in financial services, such as when sending money between bank accounts or making payments to another financial institution. The term can also be used more broadly to describe a charge related to transferring ownership or forwarding items, information, or services in various administrative or logistical contexts.

Etymology and form: The word is a compound of siirto (transfer, movement) and maksu (fee, charge). The form siirtomaksun is the genitive singular, used to indicate possession or specification, for example in phrases like “siirtomaksun suuruus” (the amount of the transfer fee) or “siirtomaksun perintä” (collection of the transfer fee).

Usage: Siirtomaksu appears on bank statements, invoices, terms and conditions, and service agreements when a transfer-related charge applies. The exact rate and applicability depend on the service provider and the type of transfer.

Related terms: Maksu (fee), siirto (transfer), toimitusmaksu (delivery or processing fee). In practice, Finnish consumers may encounter explicit transfer fees or bundled pricing where the transfer charge is included in overall costs.

Note: Because siirtomaksun is a grammatical form used within sentences, its precise meaning is determined by context—specifically which transfer is being referred to and whether the fee concerns money transfers, ownership transfers, or other forms of transfer.
