accept deposits as debts. When a bank receives a deposit from a customer becomes a creditor

and the bank a debtor. When the bank receives the amount of deposits as a debtor, it becomes

the owner of it but there is an implicit agreement that the amount owned would be paid back

by the bank to depositor on demand or often at specified time.

The classification is based on duration and purpose for which the deposits are to be kept at

the bank before the depositor can withdraw them.
