Explanation:
As a native speaker I'm struggling to undestand what this term is intended to mean. I can't come up with any context where putting 方言(dialect or dialects) and 元華(a brand name) together makes any sense.

Explanation:
A slit in the bank statement really needs to be explained by the bank. Both words in the phrase (cut between 2nd & 3rd characters) appear to be names.

方言 can mean dialect. However, Chinese nouns are followed by another noun without one of the two being effectively an adjective. And neither would have adjective use. Hence the conclusion that both words are names.
