savings-bank
Interest-paying financial institution
A savings-bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits, pays interest on them, and invests the funds conservatively.
Unlike commercial banks, savings banks historically focused on serving individual savers rather than businesses.
The term often appears as a modifier: savings-bank account, savings-bank deposits.
Now usually written without the hyphen.
