Hi folks.
I am doing a spec for fare management systems and I hit this term. Everywhere wants to translate it as "chain store" but I do not believe that it has that meaning here.
Now the offending sentence:
Auch das für die Sicherung der Zweiseitigkeit in den Geschäftsbeziehungen erforderliche Kettengeschäft (falls als Konstrukt von der BAFin gefordert) lässt sich auf der Basis des überarbeiteten Modells eindeutig darstellen.
I think they are using it in the sense of some sort of "serial business deal" but I cannot find any sort of confirmation.
Any thoughts welcome as this is REALLY not my area.
