If you plan to deposit $10,000 or more into yourchecking account, there are a few things you should consider first. By law, banks have to report deposits that exceed a certain amount.
Not only that, but many bank accounts come with maximum deposit restrictions. You may also be subject to certain fees when making such a large deposit. If you frequently make large deposits, you should also watch out for any potential scams or fraudulent activity. But even if this is a one-time thing,it’s still important to know about these factors and how they might affect you.
“According to the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to file Currency Transaction Reports (CTR) for any cash deposits over $10,000,” said Lyle Solomon, principal attorney atOak View Law Group. CTRs typically include the name of the individual, their account number, Social Security number and taxpayer identification number — all of which are verified and recorded by the bank….Read more…

Critics:
In banking, the verbs “deposit” and “withdraw” mean a customer paying money into, and taking money out of, an account, respectively. From a legal and financial accounting standpoint, the noun “deposit” is used by the banking industry in financial statements to describe the liability owed by the bank to its depositor, and not the funds that the bank holds as a result of the deposit, which are shown asassetsof the bank.
Subject to restrictions imposed by the terms and conditions of the account, the account holder (customer) retains the right to have the deposited money repaid on demand. The terms and conditions may specify the methods by which a customer may move money into or out of the account, e.g., bycheque, internet banking,EFTPOSor other channels.
For example, a depositor depositing $100 in cash into a checking account at a bank in the United States surrenders legal title to the $100 in cash, which becomes an asset of the bank. On the bank’s books, the bank debits its cash account for the $100 in cash, and credits a “deposits” liability account for an equal amount. (See double-entry bookkeeping system.)
In the financial statements of the bank, the $100 in currency would be shown on the balance sheet as an asset of the bank and the deposit account would be shown as a liability owed by the bank to its customer. The bank’s financial statement reflects the economic substance of the transaction, which is that the bank has borrowed $100 from its customer and has contractually obliged itself to repay the customer according to the terms of the agreement.
These “physical” reserve funds may be held as deposits at the relevant central bank and will receive interest as permonetary policy. Typically, a bank will not hold the entire sum in reserve, but will lend most of the money to other clients, in a process known as fractional-reserve banking. This allows providers to earn interest on the asset and hence to pay interest on deposits.
By transferring the ownership of deposits from one party to another, banks can avoid using physical cash as a method of payment. Commercial bank deposits account for most of themoney supplyin use today. For example, if a bank in the United States makes a loan to a customer by depositing the loan proceeds in that customer’s checking account, the bank typically records this event by debiting an asset account on the bank’s books (called loans receivable or some similar name) and credits the deposit liability or checking account of the customer on the bank’s books.
From an economic standpoint, the bank has essentially created economic money (although notlegal tender). The customer’s checking account balance has no banknotes in it, as a demand deposit account is simply a liability owed by the bank to its customer. In this way, commercial banks are allowed to increase the money supply (without printing currency). Banking operates under an intricate system of customs and conventions developed over many centuries.
It is also normally subject to statutory regulations, such asreserve requirements developed to reduce the risk of failure of the bank. It may also have the purpose of reducing the extent of depositor losses in the event of bank failure. To reduce the risk to depositors of a bank failure, some bank deposits may also be secured by adeposit insurancescheme, or be protected by agovernment guaranteescheme.
Adamage depositordepositis a sum ofmoneypaid in relation to arented itemto ensure it is returned in good condition. They are particularly common in relation to rentedaccommodation, where they may also be referred to as atenancy deposit,bond deposit,orbond. Theownerof the item (thelandlordin the case of accommodation) will take a sum of money from the person(s) renting the item (the tenant).
If the item is returned in good condition at the conclusion of thetenancy the owner should return the deposit. If the item is returned with damage beyond normal wear and tear, the cost ofrepairing that damage may be charged against the deposit, and part (or none) of the deposit will be returned. In somejurisdictionssuch as theAustralianstates ofVictoriaandQueensland and inNew Zealand, bond funds are held in trust by a government body and released upon agreement from both parties; failing accord of the two parties, an independenttribunaldetermines the distribution of the bond.
