Legal Definitions - deposit account

A deposit account is a type of bank account that allows account holders to deposit and withdraw money. This can include current accounts, savings accounts, and other types of accounts offered by banking institutions.

For example, a person may open a savings account at their local bank. They can deposit money into the account and earn interest on their balance. They can also withdraw money from the account when needed.

Deposit accounts are not considered to be accounts under the Uniform Commercial Code, Article 9. This means that they are not subject to the same rules and regulations as other types of accounts, such as investment accounts or business accounts.

Overall, deposit accounts are a convenient way for individuals to manage their money and have easy access to their funds.
