Cultural Context
출금 is the counterpart to 입금 and shows up constantly in Korean banking apps and ATM screens. Koreans often use ATMs not just for cash but for inter-bank transfers, and the term 출금 can appear on any transaction where money leaves your account — including auto-debits like rent or phone bills. When speaking casually, many people just say '돈 뽑다' (to pull money out) instead.
