8. Verbrauchergirokonto
Das beiliegende Konditionenblatt über die für Kontoführung und die Dienstleistungen im Zusammenhang mit Verbrauchergirokonten zur Verrechnung kommenden derzeit gültigen Entgelte sowie den derzeit geltenden Jahreszinssatz für Guthaben habe ich erhalten und nehme zur Kenntnis. Ich nehme zur Kenntnis, dass der für den Fall einer Überziehung des Kontos jeweils geltende fiktive Jahreszinssatz im Sinne des Art. 35 Abs. 1 Z. lit. d Bankwesengesetz dem Aushang zu entnehmen ist.
From an Austrian bank's terms and conditions.
Can anyone tell me what kind of account this is and how I can best translate the term into English?
