cuenta de ahorros/cuenta en una sociedad hipotecaria

I agree with your first contributor.

This is what I've been saying to Spanish-speakers as I've been working as a telephone interpreter for the Dept. of Work and Pensions lately.

Correct me please if I'm wrong...Thanks.

English term (edited): savings account or building society account

cuenta de ahorros o cuenta en sociedad mutualista/caja de ahorro

A building society is a financial institution, owned by its members, that offers banking and other financial services, especially mortgage lending.

The term building society first arose in 19th century Britain from working men's co-operative savings groups: by pooling savings, members could buy or build their own homes.

In the UK today building societies actively compete with banks for most "banking services" especially mortgage lending and deposit accounts. As of 2006 there are 61 building societies in the UK with total assets exceeding £280 billion[1]
