tallettajan

Tallettajan is the genitive form of tallettaja, a Finnish noun meaning a depositor or saver. It refers to a person who deposits money in a bank or other financial institution, typically acting as a customer or account holder. The term appears in banking, financial law, and administrative contexts, especially in formal documents such as contracts and regulatory texts.

Etymology: tallettaa means “to deposit,” and the agent noun is formed with the suffix -ttaja, yielding tallettaja. The genitive singular tallettajan is used to indicate “of the depositor.” The word shares its origin with related terms for deposit-taking and savings in Finnish.

Usage: In Finnish banking language, tallettaja denotes the party that makes a deposit and is often used to distinguish the depositor from other parties such as the account owner or beneficiary. In practice, documents may reference the rights and obligations of tallettajan in deposit agreements, withdrawal rules, and proof of funds. The term is neutral and precise, and is preferred in formal writing over more colloquial phrases.
