Spanish term or phrase: ahorrador
The term I need help with is "ahorrador". There seems to be no equivalent word in English, this being a person who deposits money in his interest-yielding savings account. Any ideas?

I checked with several other dictionaries and none of them gave me a satisfactory translation. Apparently, Oxford is the only one using the term "saver", which I had in mind but was reluctant to use.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I like savings account holder, but not investor since this would be "inversionista", which has a somewhat different meaning.
