Yes, but add the word 'temporarily'.

'set aside' is rather formal.

CliveYes, but add the word 'temporarily'.'set aside' is rather formal.
Where will I add "temporarily" ?

Thank you.

Sorry, but I don't think that is used in this situation at all. I don't see that they have the same meaning. 'Suspended account' is the only standard I have encountered. As a phrasal verb, 'set aside' would be less formal anyway.
