agree Austrianlassie : Depositaer seems to be a term only used in Switzerland.

Thank you, Austrian lassie. "Depositär" is also used in German, but in a completely different sense. According to Duden: Verwahrer von Wertgegenständen, -papieren. In the sense of "wholesaler", the term seems to be indeed typical for Switzerland.
