Bus/Financial - Accounting / Caja
Spanish term or phrase: caja social
Se conoce como EFECTIVO O DISPONIBLE, al dinero que la empresa tiene “a su disposición” en la ***Caja Social*** y en las cuentas corrientes de los Bancos.

Is there a way of expressing this phrase in English?

Thanks to all in advance.
