Spanish term or phrase: alcances
From a Mexican banking document regarding migrant workers' savings accounts:

"En el cuadro anexo, se anota que el número de pagos personales excede en mucho al número
de trabajadores contratados, porque cada trabajador se presenta varias veces para recibir en partidas sus ***alcances*** y también las remesas que
por correo enviamos van haciéndose a medida que aparecen saldos a favor de los trabajadores."
