Spanish term or phrase: cuentas de captación
La correlación entre el número de contratos de tarjeta y el número de contratos de exigibilidad inmediata es del 65 por ciento en el 2003, y entre contratos de tarjeta y el número de cuentas de cpatación es de cerca del 70 por ciento.

From a scholarly work on the Mexican credit card market. They seem to be differentiating between "cuentas" and "cuentas de captación." I'm wondering if "cuentas de captación" has something to do with accounts resulting from their taking action to attract new deposits.

Explanation:
It might be some version of this.

http://www.microsoft.com/colombia/soluciones/empresas/infoba... "verificar sus saldos ya sea de cuentas de captación o de sus obligaciones con la entidad"

See also references to "deposit accounts" at http://www.carpathiacu.mb.ca/credun/glossary/dep_gloss.htm.

http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/pls/impreso/ol_tu_dinero.html?...
"...los tarjetahabientes que tengan cuentas de captación: ahorro, cheques o inversión."

I find some different (conflicting) definitions for deposit accounts (see below) but from the above (and see also http://www.carpathiacu.mb.ca/credun/glossary/dep_gloss.htm ) I think it may mean here, simply an account where funds are deposited (as opposed, for example, to a line of credit account.)

http://www.1stop-finance.co.uk/glossary/deposit_account.html
"A Deposit Account is a kind of bank account geared towards savings, offering a higher rate of interest compared to a current account, in return for less [sic] features."

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deposit account
"deposit account - a savings account in which the deposit is held for a fixed term or in which withdrawals can be made only after giving notice or with loss of interest."

... looking for terms...


Explanation:
I've translated this term before, and I'm looking for it... haven't found it so far, but I rememebr the context: This is related to investment banking. If a bank PLACES an investment with another bank, that is a "cuenta de colocación". If a bank ACCEPTS an investment from another bank, then it is a "cuenta de captación". It depends on your point of view.
