Danish term or phrase: pengekasser
I am translating a large text about entrepreneuship and the source refers to 'pengekasser' several times.

Here are some examples:

De store pengekasser investerer i de bedste vækstvirksomheder.

Ambitionerne er uændret store og den faglige selvtillid i top, men pengekassen slunken.

Bogholderne smækkede låget i på pengekassen ude hos kunderne.

...deres bank havde smækket låget i på pengekassen

Any suggestion(s) on how to best translate this 'pengekasse(r)'?
