B/O M. XXXXX YYYYYY

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Finance (général)
On a bank statement after "VIRT BANQUE ZZZZ"

VIRT = virement.

B/O means "to" I guess, but what does it stand for?

Billet à Ordre???

Something like promissory note?

A BON is a billet à ordre négotiable, but if your M. stands for Monsieur, could it be a promissory note from the gentleman, drawn on his account?

It\'s not a transfer from an English-speaking country is it? In which case maybe its \"By order\" ....
Peer comment(s):

agree Maurice Thibaux : I guess you're right, in part. if M. means Monsieur.

Nothing leaps out at me, I've skimmed through my own statements and whatever it is, it's not something I do !

Just wanted to point out that when making transfers on-line, you can annotate them pretty much any way you like, so there's a possibility it might not mean anything "standard" but is perfectly understandable for the account holder and M. xxxxxx yyyyyyy. If it was a transfer created on line, that is.
