Spanish term
entidad
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
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?

financial institution
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.

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.
