Swedish term

fördröjningskonto

Swedish to English Other Finance (general)
More from the accounting system instructions:

"Flytta pengar mellan Fördröjningskonto och Avräkningskonto på en klient.
[...]
Det belopp man ska flytta från Fördröjningskontot, ska vara positivt.
"

I can't find any references to the term "Fördröjningskonto" online.

Nor can I find evidence (so far) of a term like "delay account" in English, at least not as a banking term.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Many thanks to those who have responded so far. Since we're still unclear on whether this is even a correct term in Swedish (and not e.g. an error on the writer's part), I'm going to hold off on selecting any answers as right, for the time being.

deferment /deferred interest account

My hunch is that this could be an escrow - holding - account though, having done UK conveyancing of land where escrow means a deposit of deeds and docs. subject to a condition, am loath (one British translation client: 'loathed') to use the term in the context of an account.

We really need to know what goes in and out of the a/c.
Example sentence:

. This is important to understand because almost all of these deferred interest accounts have very high standard interest rates

suspense account

Given that this can't be found anywhere at all, might it be that they have used the wrong Swedish word for "suspense account" (bevakningskonto), i.e. a general ledger account where you put something until you know what to do with it. A bit of a long shot I suppose.
