Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / pump
Dutch term or phrase: Florijnenvlootrekeningen
This term occurs in the following sentence:

"Daarnaast moeten ook de Florijnenvlootrekeningen meegeteld worden die onder het combi-product zijn afgesloten."

I can't make head or tail of what this type of account refers to.

Any help will be appreciated

English translation:Children's savings account
Explanation:
The Florijnenvlootrekening is a savings account from ABN AMRO for children. In the past there was the "Zilvervlootrekening" also for children (I had one!) but this is a new name for a similar thing. Children can save small amounts in it and the interest is claimed to be good.

Another expression could be \"Junior savings account\" or something like that.

agree  Harry Borsje: additionally, annual deposits are limited and at the end, when the child turns 15, there's a 15% bonus; maybe you should include that somehow, like Special or Restricted
