25 mins confidence: 
account check Explanation: would be my suggestion (the word Kontenabruf is also used in much less suspect situations, simply in online banking and similar).

31 mins confidence:
account detection/identification Explanation: Aus dem Kontext in Deutsch (Feststellung der Existenz von Konten) würde ich das so übersetzen. Aber vielleicht sollte man mal beim BND, dem BKA oder so nachfragen, wie die das nennen. Eigentlich könnte man wohl auch beides zusammenfassen unter "Screening", glaube ich. |

peer agreement (net): +1Account (information) retrieval Explanation: Here are my two cents on this term. I believe retrieval best grabs the meaning of accessing certain limited account data. |

account checking Explanation: and screening Don't disagree with others, but agree most with Stephan's comment that "screening" actually covers it. I'm assuming you will have to do a fairly close translation and would like two terms, so I'd suggest checking. Evidently the govt authorities are also asking banks to track account activity as well (not just check accounts when the govt has a reason for suspicion or screen accounts/account owners when accounts are opened). I think the initial report on CNN spoke only of "obtaining financial records." The German Embassy in the US also uses wording that skirts the -abruf per se: Drying Up the Financial Sources for Terrorism Germany supports the work of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Launderung (FATF) and has implemented the FATF Forty Recommendations on Money Laundering as well as already to a large extent the Eight FATF Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing. United Nations Security Council Resolutions concerning the fight against the financing of terrorism are implemented in Germany following the relevant EU legislation. With the coming into effect of the Fourth Financial Market Promotion Act on July 1, 2002, the following steps have been taken to enhance the implementation of international standards and strengthen the measures to combat money laundering and the funding of terrorist activities: A central database is being installed at the Federal Financial Superviory Authority in which banks are required to place information on all accounts and securities accounts held in Germany. Credit institutions and financial services institutions are required by law to set up adequate internal systems to protect against money laundering and financial fraud using EDP to allow business transactions to be screened for risk groups and conspicious features. Undertaking carrying on credit card business are required a licence to do so and are subject to ongoing supervision by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority. The tightening of checks on the ownership of banks and insurance companies is intented to prevent the acquisition of a substantial participation in a bank, financial services instiutions or insurance undertaking being obtained with funds from illegal activity. Amendments to the Fiscal Coded and the Income Tax Law are intended to ensure that facts discovered by the revenue authorities in excercising their supervisory function which indicate money laundering or comparable offences can be passed on to the law enforcement authorities. The Federal Criminal Police Office has set up a “Financial Intelligence Unit” that provides an information pool on suspected money laundering financial transactions.
