Spanish term or phrase: registro magnético computacional
This appears to refer to some kind of electronic record, but I am in need of a more precise term.

"XXX deberá informar a las sociedades el detalle del pago de las primas mensuales recaudadas por medio de un registro magnético computacional que dé cuenta del detalle de los asegurados pagados."

Your help is appreciated!

digital record
Explanation:
Nowadays, IMHO the sentence would read something like this "“XXX shall inform the companies of the details of the payment of the monthly premiums collected by means of a digital record with the accounting details of the insured persons paid.\"

A digital record or electronic record.

magnetic medium


Explanation:
This sounds rather oldfashioned (is it an old document?), and makes me think of tape. But whatever it means in practice, this is how I'd translate it.

computerized record on magnetic media


Explanation:
Magnetic media refers to floppy disks probably. However those are no longer available. The only magnetic device still being used is the hard drive and they are quickly being replaced by solid state hard drives.

Tape backups are also magnetic based and are still used.
