The word is also used to mean a cashier, especially in a car park or identity card, car licensing offices and public service agents in East Asia, and a money changer or banker in South Asia.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In Hong Kong a shroff may be a place to conduct payments.[1] In 2016 the word "shroff" became a part of the Oxford English Dictionary.[2]
