savings deposit

Money put away

A savings deposit is money placed in a bank account that earns interest and is meant for accumulation rather than daily transactions.

Unlike checking accounts, savings deposits typically limit withdrawals and offer higher interest rates as compensation: The savings deposit earns 4% annually.

Banks use these deposits to fund loans to other customers.
