Basic Documents and Transactions

related to Bank Deposits


Prepared by:
Ray Allen H. Silva, CPA
What is a Bank Account?
• A bank account represents funds entrusted by a
depositor to a bank for safekeeping.
• The three basic types of bank accounts are:
• Savings account
• Current/Checking account
• Time deposit
What is a Savings Account?
• Savings account is a bank account that earns modest interest
rate and is intended to encourage savings.
• A savings account is normally evidenced by a “passbook”.
The passbook shows the depositor’s deposits and
withdrawals, the amount of interest earned by the deposit,
and the balance of the account.
• The depositor may also opt to receive an automatic teller
machine (ATM) card either in lieu of a passbook or together
with a passbook.
• Interest on a savings deposit is accrued daily but is
reflected on the account at the end of every quarter. The
interest is reduced by a 20% withholding tax.
• If the bank account becomes dormant, the bank charges
another penalty called “dormancy fee”
What is a Current/Checking Account?
• Current or Checking account is a bank account wherein
the depositor can write checks.
• A check is an instrument that orders a bank (drawee) to
pay the person named on the check or the bearer thereof
(payee) a definite amount of money from the drawer’s
bank account.
• A current or checking account can be either of the
following:
• Basic Checking Account- usually do not pay interest;
• Interest-Bearing Checking Account- pays interest just
like a savings account.
• Instead of a passbook, the depositor in a checking
account receives a “check book”.
• The bank issues a “bank statement” to the depositor
every month that shows the deposits and withdrawals
during the period and the cumulative balance in the
depositor’s bank account.
What is a Time Deposit?
• Time deposit refers to an interest-bearing fund
maintained at a bank for a fixed period of time.
• It is similar to a savings account but it earns higher
interest rate.
• Time deposit is denominated in fixed amounts and,
normally, cannot be withdrawn until its maturity date.
• A time deposit is evidenced by a “Certificate of Time
Deposit”.
Preparation of Checks
• A check is an instrument that orders a bank (drawee) to
pay the person named on the check or the bearer thereof
(payee) a definite amount of money from the drawer’s
bank account.
Who are the parties in a check?
1. Drawer– the one writing the check and also the one
whose signature appears on the check.
2. Payee– the one who is named on the check or the
bearer thereof and is entitled to payment from the
drawee.
3. Drawee– the bank in which the drawer’s bank account
is maintained.
