sale contract in Morocco
Here is an example that is the same as my context: the sale of a property in Morocco, the notary involved in the sale contract is depositing money in a "un compte convertible à terme", in the seller's name. It appears to be a very specific type of account so I was going to leave it in French, with a brief explanation in brackets. Thanks

Hello
I'm being lazy here in that I've simply taken the expression from an Arabic bank with pages in English without further ado.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, I had seen that one. What do you think about " à terme" here? |

: You can't ignore "à terme", and I'm not sure it's a checking account.

a convertible Dirhams time-deposit account
The deposit-account element of of checking account looks right, predominantly for US-American or Canadian consumption, whilst the asker's weblink makes no mention of what happens to the interest earned on the account.
If it were a UK: stakeholder or US: escrow account, the interest would go either to the clientor to the Notary cf. certain translation agencies in the habit, after receiving pamynet from the clients, of withholding payment to translators and interpreters for months with the aim of bagging the interest.
The 'term' ending of à terme I take to be a time deposit, rather than by instalments.
The account also bears a resemblance to to the Spanish A- and B-exchange pesetas - inward & outward investment - accounts of old.
