These usually carry the name of the region or province where they are based, e.g. “Caja Soria”, “Caja de Andalucía”. They differ from conventional banks in that part of their profits has to be reinvested in social projects or cultural events which benefit their region. As with other banks, though, many savings banks have merged to form large banking corporations so as to be more competitive. One of the most powerful of these at present is “La Caixa”, a savings bank based in Catalonia.* * *f1 box;la caja tonta fam the idiot box fam, Brthe goggle-box fam ;echar a alguien con cajas destempladas fam send s.o. packinghacer caja COM cash up4:entrar en caja MIL enlist, Br join up* * *caja nf1) : box, case2) : cash register, checkout counter3) : bed (of a truck)5)caja fuerte orcaja de caudales : safe6)caja de seguridad : safe-deposit box7)caja torácica : rib cage* * *caja n2.
