Definition: Overnight deposit

Category: ECB terminology

Deposit that is convertible into currency and/or is transferable on demand by cheque, banker’s order, debit entry or similar means, without significant delay, restriction or penalty. Balances representing prepaid amounts in the context of e-money, either in the form of hardware-based e-money (e.g. prepaid cards) or software-based e-money issued by MFIs (Monetary financial institutions), are included. Non-transferable deposits, which are technically withdrawable on demand but which are subject to significant penalties, are excluded. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2007:341:0001:0232:EN:PDF
