German term
Canada
Abrufkonto
German to English
Bus/Financial
IT (Information Technology)
I am in the process of translating an Excel file with many short entries such as 'Passwort fehlt', 'Ungültiges Passwort', 'Sicherheitscode wiederholen', but also 'per Bankeinzug', 'auf Rechnung' etc. It has obviously to do with creating a user account online that allows you to download information against payment. I don't know if 'Abrufkonto' in this context is an IT-term or a banking term and how to translate it. Any help would be appreciated.

Discussion
- it could be financial, i.e. the customer pays some money into an account up front and every time they download something, money is charged to this account (normally Abrufkonto would be used for Tagesgeld or similar money accounts)
but
it could also be something like an user account created on demand or data available from the user account on demand..
