Hi,

My cmpany credits fifty thousand dollars to/in/inot my account on the fifth day of every month.

Do all of the prep. fit in the above sample? If yes, are there subtle nuances?

Standard financial usage is

My company credits fifty thousand dollars to my account . ..

My company credits my account with fifty thousand dollars . . .

These expressions reflect the idea of 'writing a sum of money on a ledger page that represents my account'.

'Into' suggests the idea that the account is 'a container of money', which is really not the case. However, 'into' is said by some people.

'In' sounds odd compared to 'into', because it does not reflect the 'movement of money in a direction' that is conveyed by 'into'.

Best wishes, Clive
