Investopedia explains 'Deposit Broker'

Deposit brokers sell financial instruments such as guaranteed investment certificates, term deposits, government bonds and certificates of deposit. They are similar to stock brokers, but offer alternatives to investing only in equity. While stock brokers must pass the Series 7 to sell securities, deposit brokers may not need regulatory approval to sell fixed-term securities.
