Definition
存款 (cún kuǎn) specifically means depositing money into a bank account or the money already saved there. It differs from 存放 (cún fàng), which is broader (storing any item for safekeeping), and from 储蓄 (chǔ xù), which is a more formal term for the concept of saving rather than the concrete bank deposit.
