Grammar
do / make bank operations
Hi people!
1. Would you use do or make to state the following?
"A swipe card is used for doing / making bank operations."
2. Would you rather say "bank transactions"?
3. If I use "perform" instead of "make" or "do", is the sentence still correct?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Mara. I do not know whether you have to write exactly what you have written, as I have not seen the context. But if I were you, I would write; A swipe card is a special plastic card with information recorded on it which can be read by an electronic device.

Hi Jay and thanks for your reply!
In the case I were asked to use either "make" or "do" and had just those two options, which one would you choose?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'd say the most natural way to say it is
"A swipe card is used for performing bank transactions."
You could easily omit 'performing', the word is understood to be there.
Best wishes, Clive

I agree with Clive on this one. But as you were supposed to use either do or make, I would use do, even though it sounds a little stupid in my mind. Personally I would not write a sentence like that
