A deposit with a bank which requires notice for withdrawal, and where interest is paid. This is UK terminology; the corresponding US term is time account. This is contrasted with a current account (UK; in US, checking account) which is repayable on demand and does not bear interest. The distinction has been blurred in recent years by the creation of numerous accounts combining withdrawal on demand and payment of a low rate of interest.
