What Is a Deposit Account and How It Works

A deposit account is the simplest way to keep your money safe at a bank. You put money in, the bank keeps it secure, and you can take it out when you need. Some accounts even pay you interest for saving.

✅ 5 Things to Know About Deposit Accounts:

  1. You can deposit (put in) and withdraw (take out) money easily.
  2. They are safer than cash at home — your money is protected.
  3. Some accounts pay interest, so your money grows slowly over time.
  4. Fees may apply if you don’t meet minimum balances or usage rules.
  5. Great for everyday use, saving goals, or emergency funds.

👉 A deposit account is the foundation of your financial life — simple, safe, and useful.
