Question Most innocent payment reference?

[ramoged843]

What is the most innocent payment reference to indicate (and easy to explain to Bank if requested) when one private person from makes ~8k EUR one-time transfer to another person's bank account? Both parties are in Europe and using Banks/EMI.

Is anything being provided in return? If nothing is being provided in return, it sounds like a gift, in which case you could mark it as "gift". Check whether there are any gift taxes payable.

Yes, there is service provided, but not possible to indicate that in reference Gift reference sounds too plain and worn out. Anything smarter?

Honestly, I never got asked by any bank for mid-range 4 digit transfers.
For EMIs it might be different.
Maybe you could use 2 different sender and 2 different receiver accounts?
So every bank will just see a transfer of 4k EUR.

I don't believe there is anything you can write in that field that let the transfer go through if the bank or EMI has doubts on other parts say the sender.
