Spanish term or phrase: (redondeo) al par
SPAIN. From an alphabetical list of e-billing strings, so I have no more useful context available. I know that "redondeo" means rounding off/up/down, but I'm not sure what the "al par" bit means.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Cheers. I kind of thought that's what it would mean, but it would be nice if there were a more succinct way to express it.

Asker: I think I'll use "rounding to even numbers" or "rounding to evens" for the sake of brevity
