Definition of 'Call Deposit Account'

A bank account for investment funds that offers the advantages of both a savings and a checking account. A call deposit account, like a checking account, has no fixed deposit period, provides instant access to funds and allows unlimited withdrawals and deposits. Like a savings account, a call deposit account pays interest. The rate of interest a call deposit account pays depends on the amount of money in the account, a system commonly referred to as banded interest rates. Also, different currencies may earn different interest rates. Depositors may have to meet a minimum balance threshold before they earn any interest.
