secret account
Undisclosed financial repository
A secret account is a financial account kept hidden from others who might normally have knowledge of or access to one's finances—a spouse, business partner, or tax authority.
The secrecy may serve legitimate privacy needs or conceal illicit activity: He maintained a secret account in the Caymans.
The term also applies to hidden social media or email accounts: She discovered her husband's secret account on Instagram.
