CHECKABLE DEPOSITS: Checking account deposits maintained by banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, or mutual savings banks. These accounts, also termed transactions deposits, let customers transfer funds easily and quickly to another person, which makes them ideally suited for use as money. Checkable deposits are typically between 60 and 70 percent of the M1 money supply.
