German term or phrase: Kassenzeichen
I know this word appears in the glossaries, but the translation wasn't appropriate for this context.

Bottom of a letter from the Amtsgericht, under Bankverbindungen.

Bei Überweisungen bitte obiges Aktenzeichen und Kassenzeichen-Nr. 9671370000018 angeben

payment code
Explanation:

neutral  Steffen Walter: IMHO the Kassenzeichen refers to the internal transaction code system used by the (district) court mentioned in the source.
