French term

en ligne créditrice

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
From a bank's letter about an account:
"Le compte chèque de M. et Mme XXXX est ouvert depuis XX/YY/ZZZZ et qu’il fonctionne sans incident en ligne créditrice."
I have researched "en ligne créditrice" and I don't think it stands for line of credit. Any thoughts? Thanks for all help.

agree Travelin Ann : Sometimes also said as "with a positive balance" - a more formal register.

True. Thank you Ann !
agree philgoddard : I don't think this is the appropriate tone for a formal letter - "in credit" would be better.
