Einschaltkonto

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / In a Swiss document
German term or phrase: Einschaltkonto
As part of CV documents. One of the job activities is "Uberwachung der Einschaltkontos"
It appears several times and despite lots of searching, I haven't been able to find any translation (or explanation for that matter), not even in Zahn.
Fwiw, I have penciled in 'start-up account', a total (possibly absurd) guess based on an entry for "Einschalt" already in the glossary.
TIA.

Setting up an account


Explanation:
In banks and financial institutions, there are employees who are responsible for setting up account. They help an account holder to fill up forms and provide all the information regarding accounts. So the word basically means setting up an account. It may or maynot be activated...it is just set-up and ready for activation and use.
