About Depository

A location or organization that keeps financial securities in a dematerialized form is referred to as a depository. A depository is any bank, group, or entity that holds securities and provides support for security trading. Similar to how bank accounts keep money, depository accounts also hold securities.

Why is Depository important?

In addition to keeping your money secure, a depository could also give you interest. Time deposits, such as certificates of deposits, often offer the highest interest rates (CDs). Due to the bank's assurance that it will have access to your funds until they mature, time deposits pay a little bit higher interest.
