Spanish term or phrase: entidad

related to my last question about "suplidos de corresponsales", the term "entidad" is used extensively, and I am wondering whether I should use the term "bank" (since it is about a bank and transferring money between banks!), or whether I should stick to the rather stiff and imprecise "entity"... what do others think?
The document is for the Ts & Cs of a facility for making bank transfers abroad...

financial institution

Explanation:
The above may also be a possibility, but not entity. If you're 100% certain they mean bank (and entidad is often used to refer to a bank), then use it.

thank you!

2 hrs confidence:

bank

Explanation:
Your choice was good. Other "euphemistic" terms institution, organization, body, etc. In Mexico "entity" is also used for "state". So, if you identify the instances of the word with "bank" is cool. I wouldn't argue against the other transl. previously proposed.
