Spanish term or phrase: se mantenía constantemente fuera de la Cámara de Compensación
From text about Venezuelan bank:

XXX se mantenía constantemente fuera de la Cámara de Compensación. La mala gerencia de sus recursos monetarios, lo estaban perjudicando.

I know that "Cámara de Compensación" is "Clearing House" but is it being used in some metaphorical sense in this context?

Explanation:
there's no metaphore in this phrase ... if a bank does not comply with several rules and restrictions, it can not be represented in clearing house, the place where all bank-to-bank transactions (i.e. cheks) are cleared/compensated
