Definition
办理 (bànlǐ) is a formal verb meaning 'to handle, to transact' — it's used for official procedures like processing documents or loans. It's more formal than the everyday 办 (bàn), which can be used in many contexts. 办事 (bàn shì) is a phrase meaning 'to handle affairs' and often stands alone, while 办理 usually takes an object like 手续.
