3) An account maintained by a bank or a building society in which a depositor's money is kept. See cheque account; current account; deposit account; savings account
4) A period during which dealings on the London Stock Exchange were formerly made without immediate cash settlement. Up to the end of each account, transactions were recorded but no money changed hands. Settlement of all transactions made within an account was made ten days after the account ended. This practice changed in 1996 when the account system was abandoned.
