Demand Deposit
(redirected from sight deposits)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Demand Deposit
Funds in a bank account that may be withdrawn on demand of the customer. Most demand deposits are in checking accounts and savings accounts, because funds in these accounts are available to the customer at any time (unless they are under a check hold). Under the Expedited Funds Availability Act of 1987, banks in the United States must grant availability to demand deposits within a certain number of days.
demand deposit
A checking account balance held at a financial institution. Because demand deposits constitute one of the most important segments of the nation's money supply, the financial community closely monitors their size. Compare time deposit. See also M1.
