[2] Overnight deposits include transaction accounts and other types of accounts from which funds may be withdrawn or transferred freely.

[3] Investment deposits are deposits redeemable at notice. They do not have a fixed maturity date (unlike deposits with agreed maturity), but they have a notice period during which the deposit cannot be converted into cash without consequences (unlike overnight deposits). This class also includes investment accounts without a period of notice or agreed maturity but which have restrictive drawing provisions.
