====In a {{nutshell}}====
A normal bank deposit is an unsecured liability of the bank’s to repay an amount of money: it is a form or loan, repayable on-demand. a bank deposit does is not any kind of right over any money deposited by the bank: it can’t be.
Only banks are entitled to hold deposits. Everyone else to whom you give cash, apropos nothing, must deposit it with a bank. The bank will record that the account is in the name of the depositor as trustee for its client. In that case there is no debtor/creditor relationship with the payee as long as the payee promptly transfers the [[cash]] on to a bank with whom you will have a debtor/creditor relationship. Note this is also title transfer (you can’t {{isdaprov|not}} title transfer cash), but within a prescribed period, the transfer goes to a third party bank. (if the intermediary were to go insolvent in the mean time it’s tough luck).
