More commonly, this account is a combination of savings account and fixed deposit or term deposit accounts, and some cases, may have an overdraft facility.

Passbook for multipurpose account


Explanation:
First, 総合口座 refers to a specific type of a bank account, and it should not be omitted in translation.

Second, if you put the words in the same word order as they are in the Japanese term, it (in this particular case) - "multipurpose account passbook" - can cause a confusion as to which part of the term "multipupose" refers to - "account" or "passbook" (although, technically, how many purposes can a passbook have?) .
Google hits for "passbook for multipurpose account" are few, but I think this translation is would be the most appropriate in this case.

integrated account / comprehensive account


Explanation:
This is translated as "integrated savings passbook" by Japan post but it would be an idea to check if the specific bank has a preferred term already. In most cases it's an account with the combined functions of checking accounts, saving accounts, etc. Depending on the context "passbook" can be omitted.
