Deposit Institutions are financial entities, such as banks or credit unions, that accept funds from the public for safekeeping, typically offering interest on these deposits. These institutions play a critical role in the financial system by providing various banking services, including lending and payment processing. They operate under specific regulatory frameworks designed to protect depositors and maintain financial stability. Their operations are central to conventional economic activity.
