Deposits

Deposit products differ in payment access, interest, maturity, processing, and funds availability. Start with the legal account, the deposited item, and the event being measured rather than assuming a posted balance is immediately spendable cash.

Transaction Accounts and Savings Products covers checking, savings, demand deposits, and money-market deposit accounts. Time Deposits, CDs, and Fixed Savings covers stated maturities, early access, renewal, CD structures, and fixed-term cash management.

Deposit Processing and Branch Deposits follows the evidence created when cash or an item is accepted. Funds Availability and Check Clearing distinguishes posting, collection, holds, returns, and the amount available for withdrawal.

For any deposit question, identify the institution, owner, account type, deposit date, posting date, availability date, rate, maturity, fees, and applicable protection rules. Use Depository Institutions when the question concerns the legal deposit taker, balance-sheet funding, liquidity, or supervision.
