Deposits are a capital investment in exchange for remuneration, which can be fixed or variable. A deposit is a financial product, a contract in which money is made available to a bank for safekeeping.

Transfer

It is known as wire transfer or credit transfer is a method of electronic transfer from one person or entity to another. It can be done from one account to another or through a cash transfer through an ATM.

There are different systems and operators that perform electronic transfers providing a wide variety of options in terms of time, security, value, cost, and volume of transactions.

Some central banks provide quick availability of funds and an irrevocable settlement on your transfers. There are also immediate settlement systems that process a large number of transactions, a lower volume of payments, and a high transaction cost.

It can be done between accounts of the same natural or legal person, between accounts of different holders in the same bank or in different banks, and between banks in different countries. If the two accounts are in the same bank, it is called a transfer.

This process may or may not charge a commission depending on the bank’s policies.

Deposit

Deposits are a capital investment in exchange for an interest offered by the entity that receives it. They are considered financial products established by a contract in which a natural or legal person places money at the disposal of a bank or credit institution so that it can be held in custody in a set period of time and repaid with interest.

Investment recovery periods can be established or the absolute freedom to recover the money. The interest to be recovered can also be established, that is, whether or not they are fixed.

In some countries, a deposit is usually considered to be the transfer of money made by a legal or natural person through an ATM to the account of another legal or natural person.
