scriptural currency
Here'a an online definition for scriptural currency: "Bank and post checking account balances available at any time for transfers and conversion into cash. Source: European Union"
Source: see first Reference
Also, Termium gives "scriptural currency" for "monnaie scripturale" (admittedly a different term) along with the following definition: "All money in book-entry form and therefore not circulating in form of banknotes and coins."

: Allegro: you're misunderstanding "devise fiduciaire", which means fiduciary (ie government-backed) currency http://www.glossary.com/reference.php?q=Fiduciary currency

: Or 'scriptural money', as opposed to fiat money (the better-known, less euphemistic synonym for fiduciary currency).

credit transfert
Il s'agit d'une devise qui n'est "sonnante" mais plutôt , comme votre texte l'indique, d'une devise qui existe unqiuement à partir d'un acte ou d'un processus bancaire.

: "transfert" n'est pas anglais; and this does not fit the definition given by the asker

Oui, bien sûr, " transfert" est français. Toutefois "transfer" est anglais. SVP référer au Grand dictionnaire termininologique de la langue française de l'OLPQ, par analogie, voir trad. de "transfert bancaire" . Désolée, pour la typo.

• Fiduciary currency, banknotes and coins, the value of which is based on confidence in the banking system
• Scriptural currency, credit cards, checks, bank payment orders, transfers of funds which only require a signature and is payable in the short term.
The value of scriptural money is not questioned.

Perhaps the term is relevant here because the Euro was first used as scriptural currency, and only later as fiduciary currency.
I have yet to meet a banker, trader or an accountant who talks about transactions in “scriptural currency”.
