Spanish term or phrase:sistema de financiacion Aplazo
El hospital ha llegado a un acuerdo con el Banco de Santander para tener acceso a su sistema de financiación Aplazo que permite a los clientes obtener facilidades de pago.
I am translating a website for a private hospital and it is describing different payment plans that they have alongside Santander under this system called Aplazo. I know that Aplazo means to defer, dealy etc, but my question is whether to translate the word Aplazo and find a suitable translation or whether to leave it in Spanish. It is mentioned throughout the text as there are three different payment plans under Aplazo - Aplazo 10, Aplazo descuento and Aplazo compra.
Explanation: Leave it, it's the name of the scheme. The name suggests some sort of deferred payment or installment plan but that is purely an assumption. It may be defined in more detail in your document but we can't make detailed assumptions based in its name.
