Account types

The following table presents the available account types in the Tuum system and their corresponding features.

Account type	Description
Currency	A customer account that allows holding balances in multiple currencies on one account. It can have fees, interest conditions, and contractual overdraft conditions. Note: See more about currency accounts.
Savings	This account is designed to help customers save for specific goals while earning a higher interest rate. To open one, customers need to have an existing currency (servicing) account and make an initial deposit. Note: See more about savings accounts.
Internal	Bank's technical account used to reflect incoming or outgoing funds movements. The funds held in internal accounts are not categorised as customer deposits. Note: See more about internal accounts.
Virtual	A customer account with a number, which can be used for payments but does not store its balance. The reference to the master account ID is mandatory for such account types.
Shadow	A hidden customer account related to the credit contract disbursements and repayments if currency accounts are not in use.
