I do not know exactly how to translate this phrase, but in the UK a compliments slip is quite common, it is simply a card (110 x 220 mm) with the company details, similar to headed letter paper, but with the mention « with compliments » in large print. Does this give you a clue of what "With compliments" might be?

Jack: Please don’t hide your answer. Being misled, intentionally or not, by lack of context, a misspelled word, or an incompetent author are everyday facts of life for us translators. However wrong your answer may be or the reasons why you may have been so off the mark teaches us a lot about this common danger that we all face in every new translation. So even if you don’t get these four points, we all benefit from this experience. That is where the KudoZ forum really shines. Not just helping out a colleague, but helping us all as colleagues. Believe me, there is wisdom in your answer, even if it is wrong, let it stay!

There may be no solution, but guesswork.

I believe the original author is mimicking a phrase they saw somewhere, and didn’t really know how to use it. In the context now shown, it cannot easily be either compliment or complement. We are forced to guess the author’s intent and no amount of context can fix that kind of quandary.

Like telefpro, I thought my suggestion made sense as a proper translation, given that the asker indicated this related to economics and monetary balances. As it turns out, this in fact relates to general correspondence and a salutation to a written letter - so the asker completely misled us.
