GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:einmelden
English translation:register / report
Entered by: Narasimhan Raghavan

Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / personal loan products
German term or phrase: einmelden
Überziehungen werden derzeit hauptsächlich noch in KS, in Einzelfällen auch direkt im Vertrieb eingemeldet. Künftig werden diese durch KRM oder Vertrieb und nur noch in Einzelfällen über KS eingemeldet.

Curiously this very much German sounding word is not listed in any dictionaries in my possession. There is one Kudoz entry but unfortunately it is not accessible to me.

Is it same as anmelden? For the moment I lean towards "to register or record or report or log in". In this context "log in" seems inappropriate. Even though I am almost sure of the meaning ("to record"), I have opted to pose the question here to get confirmation and make this term universally available.

register / report
Explanation:
I've never heard of "einmelden" meaning anything but "log in". I have however found some hits on google that seem to use this word differently. All in all I would say this means something like "report" or "register" in this context, not "record" or "log in" (which are also possible translations for the word einmelden; "register" would contain the meaning of "record".

agree  Siegfried Armbruster: Never heard of "einmelden" before and I am not convinced that it is a German word, but "report"sounds fine.

agree  RobinB: Or possibly "capture". I think it's being used here in the sense of "einpflegen" (another daft German term), perhaps coupled with some sort of "heads-up" function (we are talking about overdrafts, after all).
