inglés term
bank account / banking account
inglés al español
Negocios/Finanzas
Finanzas (general)
I have a document already translated into spanish of some strings of an online bank website, it seems.
As far as I see, both terms have been equally translated as "cuenta bancaria".
I have however the feeling that there must be any difference between both.
These two terms are sentences themselves, not being in the context of longer phrases.

cuenta bancaria/cuenta comercial/operacional
Creo que la diferencia estaría en que banking también quiere decir actividades, operaciones. Si pensamos en préstamos, créditos. Sería una cuenta operacional, por lo general, distinta a la personal y probablemente pertenezcan a empresas.
En este sitio web que tu mencionas ¿tienen acceso las empresas, compañías etc.?.
Una duda:
También se usa banking después de "Internet" (banking account) "online"(banking account) "net" (banking account). ¿no lo habrá obviado el traductor anterior?
Por otro lado, pensar que bank account es cuenta bancaria y banking account es cuenta de la banca, igual no proporciona luz sobre la diferencia entre ambas.

cuenta bancaria
Yo creo que son sinónimos. Sin embargo, si el segundo término "banking account" es el nómbre de un epígrafe, puede ser cómo crear tu cuenta bancaria. Pero sin contexto, sigo pensando que son sinónimos, o al menos en español no apreciamos la diferencia.
Note from asker:
| Gracias Mar. En el fondo tengo la sensación de que al traducir también debería haber una diferencia, porque ambas frases me aparecen una justo detrás de la otra. Y aunque tampoco tengo contexto, pues son frase muy cortas del tipo "string", tengo la fuerte sensación de que alguna diferencia hay entre ambas en el original inglés. El documento está en word, "pelao" tal cual. Y no tengo ni PDF ni htmls ni nada de contexto dentro de ninguna web ni otro documento similar. Como tú, y a falta de contexto, imagino que el o la colega traductor/a que haya hecho la traducción, ha optado por traducir ambas del mismo modo. ¿no tienes alguna otra sugerencia? |

cuenta bancaria
You've basically described it.
With a "bank account" the emphasis is on the bank, e.g., I have a bank account at XYZ Bank (as opposed to one at ABC Bank).
With a "banking account", the emphasis is on the use of the banking system (which, of necessity, requires the use of a bank).
I think cuenta bancaria covers both, unless you have some context that suggests the use of something else.

| Hi Paul, your explanation sounds really well. My point is mainly to see if anyone can suggest two different terms in Spanish, if there is any chance to get it. =) When about synonyms, I do not like very much repeating same words in translations, but at this point I am kind of clumsy and sleepy to think of any good option for not repeating "bancaria" twice |

: Como Mediamatrix, creo que hay que tener en cuenta otros factores. La "banking account" es una cuenta que ofrece servicios adicionales.

see below ...
For info only (no translation offered ...)
In the UK, a 'bank account' (which may be a 'cuenta corriente', 'cuenta de ahorro' u otra) is the basic service that allows you to deposit and retrieve your money, make payments with cheques or credit cards, etc.
A 'bankING account' - which is often reserved for cleints with more than a minumum amount in their banck account' - goes further and may include financial and investment advice, overdraft facilities, and other services over and above those available with the basic 'bank account'. Several major UK banks refer to 'private banking' - meaning 'executive banking services for the (relatively) well-off.
Hope this helps in finding the appropriate Spanish terms...

| Thanks a lot mediamatrix. Your explanations are really good. Hopefully any colleague may help me with this to find any good option =) |
| Assuming that the source text I have is corresponding to your explanations....would it be perhaps "cuenta bancaria básica" and "cuenta bancaria personal"(or cuenta bancaria "plus" for banking account)?? What do other colleagues think? |

Discussion
In any case I already gave the client my thought on this issue. All of your contributions have been of great help. Now I am about to close this KudoZ, and give points, but in my opinion you all worth the 4 points (wouldn't it be nice if we askers could divide and give out point to more than one answerer??).
I will copy all your texts and answers and will forward to my client, so they will finally decide what to write in the Spanish final document.
Once again, thanks to all of you!!
I believe there must be a difference just because they are not two terms appearing in two different bank websites....but they are two different sentences for the same bank.
Moreover, leaving out "account", I know that "bank" is banco/bancario, and "banking" is banca/bancaria, but banking is also "banca" in the sense not of the company, but in the sense of "activity" (banking activity).
The point is that I believe that these two words, when combined with account must have any difference.
