Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Banking
When money is deposited at a bank, it is placed either upon current account or upon deposit account. The former is the account upon which the customer Operates by drawing cheques according to his needs. Unless the balance standing to the credit of the customer falls below a fixed minimum it is not the general practice for a banker to make any charge for the accommodation granted. The latter is the account upon which the customer Cannot Operate except upon the terms agreed between himself and the banker. The money deposited is only obtainable after proper notice. Upon this money the banker pays interest to the customer, the amount of the interest being calculated according to circumstances. There is no fixed custom amongst bankers as to deposit accounts. AS already stated, the business Of discounting bills of exchange and promissory notes will be fully explained in a future chapter, and the whole question Of loans granted by bankers will be treated in detail in a chapter specially devoted to that subject.
