Explanation:
In this case, we may not be able to use the term "trust account" as it has a completely different meaning, as per the explanation provided by www.thefreedictionary.com. Hence, I am afraid that the literal translation, or the principle of equivalence, will not work here, and, consequently, we will resort to paraphrase or explain the source term so it will not be misperceived by the target language user.
