A float can be a type of loan or credit - but we need more context. - ian-hill, Mar 18, 2011

This is a technical term, you need to ask people who have knowledge of the field.

Hmm...

I think we need more of that sentence to form a proper context. It sounds to me like it's a technical definition possibly from computer science or economics?
