Deposit
The word deposit simply refers to the process of putting money/funds into an account, whether it be a current account or a savings account.
Thus if you were to pay £100 into your savings account, then that would be said to be making a deposit of £100 into the account. Generally whenever money goes into account then that is a deposit. The opposite of course being a withdrawal, when a payment goes out rather than in.
