| Summary | 0009370: bank dialects: netzbon | ||||
| Description | We today got some request from Netzbon, for their *dialect*, they want the "withdraw" button to be called "buy" as you buy Netzbon (with CHF). I guess they could also live with exchange/trade/convert, but they strongly dislike withdraw. One issue is that of course in the generic (not netzbon-specific) withdraw button, we don't know which currency/exchange the user wants to interact with yet, so at that point dialects are not exactly possible. Anyway, just recording the issue that was raised. | ||||

"Buy" is the worst expression for the withdrawal button as this implies a *contract* to agree on - whereas the payment system just needs the users to agree with the Terms of service (TOS/AGB), which are explicitly avoiding the word "contract". Contracting with users would require a fully-fledged financial institution with accounting and legal department and KYC/AML officers all the way. Although in the NetzBon Terms of service one chapter is titled "5. Käufe und Zahlungsbedingungen" it does not tell anything about a purchase of the eNetzBon currency, later on "Kauf" is geared towards the end-consumers buying products in the stores. "Buy" should be reserved for the payment process when users are actually buying products and pay for their acquisition. My proposition: The NetzBon-specific withdrawal button shall be labelled "eNetzBon holen" or "CHF gegen eNetzBon tauschen". Note that the currency is named 'eNetzBon'. A *generic* withdrawal button is going to trigger a process that loads a wallet with something [currency, shares, voting rights, assets, ounces of metal, time units ...]. As a consequence, wouldn't it logical to have action buttons labelled like "Load" (instead of "Withdrawal") and "Deposit" respectively "Holen" and "Einzahlen" in German and "Obtenir" and "Dépositer" in French? |
