This paper aims at examining the influence of English as a lingua franca on the terminology in the domain of banking and finance, which becomes more and more globalised with the increased prevalence of transnational financial operations.
The analysis of examples from Romanian, Russian and German is intended to illustrate how English terminology is introduced in different languages, mainly through borrowing and loan translation or calque, and also adapted to the
grammatical and structural peculiarities of the target language.
