Two Categories: • Transaction deposits • An account that allows transactions to occur at any time and in any number. AKA demand deposits • Time deposits • Deposits held for or mature at a specified time.
Transaction Accounts • Demand Deposits- payable on demand whenever the depositor chooses • Checking Account - most common form; offers customers quick access to their money and a convenient way to pay bills or transfer funds to other institutions.
Checking Accounts • Basic- Offer a few simple services for minimal cost • Interest bearing checking- Pay interest on the balance deposited in the account, but usually a minimum balance is required
Other types of transaction accounts • Travelers checks • Automatic transfer service
Time Deposits • Less liquid than check deposits • Examples include: • Savings Accounts • Money Market deposit accounts • Certificates of Deposit (CDs) • Various Savings Bonds
Savings Accounts • Banks usually limit the number of free withdrawals. • Statement Savings Accounts: • Provide a quarterly statement detailing account activity, including fees and interest earned. • Lower interest rates than other time deposits because it is the most liquid
Money Market Deposit Accounts • MMDAs offer a higher rate of interest than savings accounts, but they usually require a higher initial deposit to open an account. • FDIC insured up to $250,000 • Minimum balance usually required • # of Transactions may be restricted
Certificates of Deposit • CDs are certificates offered by the bank that guarantee payment of a specified interest rate until a designated date in the future (maturity date). • Higher the amount and longer time until maturity = higher interest rates • Usually higher than money market accounts and savings accounts
