Bank Deposits & Bank Loans

Deposit Account: A deposit account is a type of bank facility, offered by a banking/financial institution that allows money (cash or transfer) be deposited and withdrawn by the account holder on request, as per the rules of the institution.

Major types of Bank account: Current Accounts: A deposit account for business entity, allows more number of transaction & remittance. Savings accounts: Type of account basically used to promote savings habit of the individual Time deposit: Money deposited with bank for a pre-decided time period.

Banks have derived several deposit products from above three types, which includes: Savings Bank Current Account Recurring Deposits Term Deposit ( Intt Payback/Interest Accrual) Term Deposit (Coupled With Overdraft) Current Account in Foreign Currency Fixed Deposits in Foreign Currency Other misc. deposit accounts

Bank Loan: A loan is a type of debt. It is money or facility given by a financial institution to its customer which, increases purchasing power of the customer. A debt is created when a creditor agrees to lend a sum of assets to a debtor. In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal sum and repays an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time. In addition to the principal, interest/fee is also paid. In case of Non-fund based accounts, not money but facility is allowed & instead of interest, fees are charged. A company or individual's bank credit depends on both the borrower's capacity to repay and the overall amount of credit available in the banking system.

Loan Payment Mechanism Simple interest method: Where borrower pays interest only on principle amount. Compounded interest method: In compounded interest method interest on interest is also paid along with interest on principle. Thus this method of repayment makes actual interest higher as compared to other method & this is the method used by banks for giving loans.
