savings deposits
Money put away
Savings deposits are funds held in bank accounts that earn interest while remaining accessible to the depositor.
Unlike checking accounts, they're designed for accumulation rather than frequent transactions, though withdrawals are typically allowed.
Banks use these deposits to fund loans, paying depositors a return for the use of their money: The bank offers 4% on savings deposits.
