German term or phrase: Datenträgeraustausch (DTA)
Webpages for a provider of software for Sparkassen. I've worked out what the acronym DTA stands for, but does anyone know what the English equivalent is in the banking sector? Also, it appears on one bit below as "DTAUS"; any ideas?

There are quite a few good google hits to help, eg. http://www.sparkasse-pforzheim-calw.de/publish/produktstaend...

Here are my two bits of context:

XXX ermöglicht:
• Erfolgreiches Verkaufen:…Mit der Produkt-Datenbank wird schnelle, rationelle Erstellung von Angeboten, Lieferscheinen und Rechnungen möglich; über die Lastschriftfunktion werden fällige Beträge beleglos (DTA) eingezogen; im Falle eines Falles faßt das integrierte Mahnwesen nach.

AND:
Grundlage hierfür sind die XXX-Funktionsmodule, die auf den Einsatz in Sparkassen zugeschnitten sind:
• Vorgangsbearbeitung:…Online Banking, ELKO-Service-Rechenzentrum / ELKO-Host, DTA, Karten-Zahlungsverfahren, Telefon-Banking, Cash
• Lastschrifteinzug:…Erstellung DTAUS-Dateien für Rechnungen und Gebühren

AND:
Die Fakturierung für Sparkassen

Es sind gerade die trivialen Aufgaben, die das Kerngeschäft ausbremsen und belasten; sie müssen trotzdem erledigt werden. Um den Aufwand hierfür gering zu halten, empfiehlt sich der Einsatz geeigneter Werkzeuge. Das gilt auch für die Rechnungsstellung erbrachter Leistungen.Die XXX Group stellt für Banken und Sparkassen ein Faktura-Werkzeug bereit, das durch die integrierte Host-Anbindungerhebliches Rationalisierungspotential mitbringt. Die Anwendungunterstützt Mitarbeiter bei der Erstellung von Rechnungen, bei Rechnungseinzug per DTA oder der Überwachung des Zahlungseingangs.

AND

Rechnungs-Verarbeitung
Rechnungen, für die eine Einzugsermächtigung vorliegt, werden nach Zielkonten getrennt per DTA eingezogen. Ansonsten wird mit Hilfe des Programms der Zahlungseingang überwacht...
Funktionen im Überblick:
• Rechnungseinzug per DTA
• Gutschriften per DTA

Explanation:
Back in the early to mid-1990s, I translated/internationalised the entire German electronic banking system known as BCS/Multicash. That was for the private banks. Elko, for the Sparkassen, and Geno, for the Genossenschaftsbanken, were also based on this system. However, the technology has progressed massively from the days when Datex-P was the "best of breed".

Datenträgeraustausch was originally the system where tapes or diskettes with transaction data were physically transported to and from the bank. This manual system was gradually supplanted by online file transfer (Datex-J, Datex-P), and ultimately by Internet-based systems. But "DTA" was retained as the designation (presumably so as not to frighten the horses), and back then, we settled on "online file transfer (DTA)" for online data transmission, and "offline file transfer (DTA)" for the manual version. I still have a large glossary of electronic banking systems and applications terminology, but a lot of it is outdated now.

DTAUS is a data format, so don't change that. And simply use "electronically" for beleglos.
