Japanese term or phrase: 無通帳取引
I actually have less of a problem with this term than with the entire sentence. Can you help me to put this into English that makes sense?

法人キヤッユカードをご利用される方でカードと通帳によるお取引のほかカードのみによるお取引（以下無通帳取引という）を希望される方は右側に押印してください。

Thank you in advance for your help!

Explanation:
法人キヤッユカードをご利用される方でカードと通帳によるお取引のほかカードのみによるお取引（以下無通帳取引という）を希望される方は右側に押印してください。

Corporate cash-card account holders wishing to take advantage of "card-only transactions" (versus transactions requiring both a passbook and cash-card) should sign in the space provided at right.

Another option for 無通帳取引 would be "passbook-free transactions"

passbook-less transaction


Explanation:
The entire sentence means the following.

They are asking the corporate cash card users if they want to do their transactions
1) with cash card and passbook (which seems to be the standard mode of operation)
2) with cash card only (passbook-less transaction, which is an additional option.)
If a user wants to use the second option in addition to the first, they should put their stamp on the right side.

agree  952313 (X): I actually like Troy's suggestions better. Card-only would be the most clear-cut. But I would still avoid the word "sign", as it is a Japanese custom to use a stamp, not signature. It's a minute detail but could confuse some readers.

  -> Ah...yes, "sign" versus "stamp" can be an issue that is best clarified with the client. Thanks for pointing that out...
agree  Yumico Tanaka (X): Yes, it's simple and good. BTW did you stop signing off とろい?

Account book-free (business) transactions


Explanation:
Nowadays no bank outside Japan give culstomers an account book, I believe. They send out statements either by email or post. It seems recording transactions in individual account book 通帳 still seems the way in Japanese banks.
The customer who requests their bank not to issue any account books. To make it a little more catchy and compact, I will try "Account book-free transactions"

I didn't see yonyon's answer before posting. It is better. I also agree with Patent_pending's opinion to delete the sentence in the bracket. But if the word often appears then there may be need to translate it just to be safe.

card-only account


Explanation:
Alternative term: non-passbook account

I wouldn't use the term "transaction" in this case.

Reference information:
Interesting Japanese! I would rewrite the whole sentence as follows:

法人キヤッシュカードをご利用される方で通帳ご不要の方は右側に押印してください。

I wouldn't use the wording "以下無通帳取引という", if possible.
