Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / staff survey
Portuguese term or phrase: a ordém de
I'm not sure of the exact meaning of this here:

'Acho que 1º deviamos abrir a conta a ordem do cliente para ao fazer a inserçao do nº de cliente associar logo os dados do proponente'

Does it mean 'in the customer's name'?

Many thanks

Explanation:
CONTA A ORDEM means deposit account. So the source text means "I think we should open a deposit account in the client's name in order to be able to insert the client number and link to the bidder's/proposer's data."

neutral  Mark Robertson: in that case wouldn't it be "conta à ordem" not "conta a ordem"?
