Spanish term or phrase: movilizar la cuenta_URGENT
Hello, colleagues.

In Venezuela, “movilizar una/la cuenta” means to deposit, withdraw, and/or transfer funds in and out of a bank account.

I have seen this phrase translated as “mobilize the account”, but I don’t feel happy with this translation.

I think that “manage the account” could be an appropriate translation, but now doubt if this phrase has the meaning that I want to convey, or rather it refers to the bank’s activity when managing its clients’ funds.

Many thanks in advance,
Manuel

Many thanks to you all!

I think “operate the account” describes better what we mean with “movilizar la cuenta”, as in the following example:

How to Operate a Checking Account (making deposits, writing checks, noting register entries, balancing to a statement)

Perhaps to actually use the account, rather than just have it open, maybe on registering a PIN number or other authorisation?
