cash accounts associated with savings schemes

The start of an answer is here, "plans" covers a range of savings schemes:

"les ***comptes espèces*** de plans d’épargne en actions (PEA), de plans d’épargne retraite (PER), de plans d’épargne salariale."

See section 3 here:

http://avcparcours1combattant.over-blog.com/2019/06/banques-...


Next, an official translation (I am not aware of a UK or US equivalent):

Guarantee for accounts in case of a bank failure. - FGDRhttps://www.garantiedesdepots.fr › I-have-savings-and-...
Sep 2, 2020 — All other savings and other accounts and savings schemes ... Livret Jeune savings accounts;; ***cash accounts associated with an equity savings*** ..


It's another matter whether you could call ("rename", in fact) such accounts current accounts or savings accounts, the categories we generally use in Ireland and the UK at least...

Here's that second link in full:

https://www.garantiedesdepots.fr/de/node/22

Page down to

"PRODUCTS COVERED BY THE DEPOSIT GUARANTEE SCHEME"

On the right-hand side of the page:

"All other savings and other accounts and savings schemes denominated in euros or in a government currency:

- current accounts, demand deposit accounts or term accounts;
- home savings accounts and savings plans (CEL, PEL, PEP, etc.);
- Livret Jeune savings accounts;
- ***cash accounts associated with*** an equity ***savings scheme (PEA), a pension ***savings scheme (PER), an ***employee savings scheme, or equivalent opened at a banking institution;
- bank cheque issued and not cashed;
- total net balance of factoring transactions."

The translation is fairly good.

cash balance plans

Pensions, IRAs and 401(k)s are familiar concepts to business owners, yet there is another, lesser-known retirement savings strategy that can result in significant tax savings for certain small business owners. A cash balance plan is a defined benefit plan that, similar to a traditional pension, provides a specific benefit at retirement to eligible employees. It can be designed to work in conjunction with an existing defined contribution plan. Unlike defined contribution plans, however, cash balance plans have generous contribution limits that increase with age. This feature makes cash balance plans attractive to older business owners seeking to turbocharge their retirement savings beyond the annual tax law limitations associated with defined contribution plans.
